If you celebrated Team GB's triumphs at the London 2012 Games then you can enjoy them time and time again with this excellent e-book.  John White has left no stone unturned in his meticulous research behind the British athletes who claimed gold at London 2012.  White not only tells us how the gold medal was won but gives us so many fascinating associated stories as well.  For example, Greg Rutherford's long jump gold was the first time since the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan that GB had won the long jump, Lynn Davies from Wales winning gold with a jump of 8.07m.  Mike Powell of the USA is the reigning world record holder for the long jump which he set on 30 August 1991 in Tokyo, Japan with a leap of 8.95m to beat the record set by Bob Beamon at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, Mexico of 8.90 on 30 October 1968.
