Hero Redefined delves into the lesser-known stories of Olympic athletes—and a couple of unique Olympic venues—that challenge the conventional narrative of glory and gold. In riveting personal profiles exploring herculean feats of strength, perseverance, and sportsmanship, award-winning sports journalist Doug Levy offers a new vision of heroism. There is more than one path to greatness, and the extraordinary acts of resilience and personal sacrifice by these athletes have left an indelible mark on the spirit of the Olympic games in quiet but fundamental ways through the ages. Each chapter reveals a different face of heroism—immense resilience, strength of character, unparalleled sportsmanship, an incredible zeal to compete, and a seemingly superhuman will to finish. Throughout, Levy celebrates the heroic human spirit and its relentless drive to carry the torch forward—both inside and outside of the Olympic Games. Doug Levyis a lifelong sports buff and a huge fan of the Olympic Games. He owned and operated a lobbying and government affairs consulting business for twenty-five years, and worked as a sports reporter, sports columnist, and news reporter for the Tri-City Herald newspaper in southeast Washington and as a news and politics re porter for The Columbian in Vancouver, Washington through much of the 1980s. He has skydived, run two marathons, climbed a mountain, para glided, bungee-jumped, and once testified at a murder trial.
