    Does anyone have favorite resources for an Olympics study?  Nonfiction and fiction books,  websites,  movies,  etc.?  So far I thought of Eric Liddell and Chariots of Fire.

    I read the adult version of both books and they were awesome. I would imagine these versions (depending on age/maturity) are just as good 🙂

    The Boys in the Boat (Young Readers Adaptation): The True Story of an American Team’s Epic Journey to Win Gold at the 1936 Olympics

    Unbroken (The Young Adult Adaptation): An Olympian’s Journey from Airman to Castaway to Captive

    Actually I should mention that Unbroken only tells about the Olympics in the early part of the book. The bulk of the book is more about Louis Zamperini’s captivity.
