Presents an account of the contemporary sociology of sport. This title traces the key 'moments' in the transition from pre-modern to modern sport, giving detailed accounts of the athletic competition in the ancient games at Olympia; the genesis of modern track-and-field athletics in 19th-century England; and, the reconstruction by de Coubertin.
