Résumé du livre
Originally published in 1988, this book tracks the performance of eight women, members of Canada's national rowing team.
In this deeply personal and wonderfully enlightening book, the Olympic dream is described by young athletes who are living it: the high of winning and the heartbreak of losing, the pain of relentless training, fierce conflict with coaches and competition with rivals, and the fleeting magic of putting it all together in the perfect race.
Stroke portrays in vivid colour the lives of eight of Canada's finest rowers, their ambitions, fears, dedication and courage.
