LONG TRACK SPEED SKATING NEWS

Through Winter of Discontent, Eva tells both her story and the story of US Speedskating. And it’s not always a nice story. But I think it’s an important one for people to hear which is why I want to make people aware of it. Whether you have an interest in sport in general or speedskating in specific, this book may make you aware of some of the things that really go on in high-level sport that you won’t hear about otherwise.

I’ll be blunt: if you’re the kind of person who needs their sports books to be full of happy endings and Rocky-esque moments, this is not the book for you to read. If you want a true insider’s view of high- level sport in what is admittedly a niche sport (and make no mistake, I’m sure athletes in all sports could tell similar stories), this is a book you will want to read. It pulls aside the veil of smoke and mirrors to let you see the real story of what goes on. This is the story you won’t see on NBC between shots of Apollo Anton Ohno winning gold, it’s not the story you’ll see in the major news media. Because it’s not a story people want to believe is true. But it is.
