Description
Matthew Pinsent has won three gold medals with his legendary rowing partner Steve Redgrave. This summer Matthew will face the race of his life in Athens - in search of a fourth gold with his new partner James Cracknell. In a uniquely exciting and evocative autobiography Pinsent interweaves the build-up to Athens 2004 with the extraordinary story of his career and unforgettable partnership with Redgrave. Plucked from obscurity at the age of 20, told to partner his hero, and trained to within show more an inch of his life, Pinsent's story is uniquely revealing about what it takes to be a champion and the mixed blessings of success. Culminating in a nail-biting final chapter in Athens this July Two Million Strokes A Minute is a sports book in a different mould. show lessTags
