Marion Jones

Written for sports fans of all ages, the Sports Snaps series profiles well-known sports figures in a scrapbook-style format. Included in each are quotes from players and coaches about the athlete, statistics, records, and the player's biography. With commentary provided by some of the sporting world's best writers and action-packed colour photos from top sports photographers, these books provide fans with an intimate look at their heroes. The public persona and personal struggles of one of the world's fastest women are chronicled in this look at Olympian Marion Jones. In 1998, she became the first American woman to be ranked number one in three different events, and in the 2000 Summer Olympics she took home three gold medals and two bronze medals.
