Ian Thorpe, The Journey – Researched and co-ordinated by Ian Heads

Ian Thorpe’s inspirational journey has taken him, in only 18 years, to the very pinnacle of achievement. His record as a swimmer is extraordinary enough, as a multiple world champion, and winner of three Olympic gold medals and two silver medals (at time of publication). But there is much more to this supreme athlete. As Young Australian of the Year he is a role model for all Australians, and his eloquence, intelligence and strength of character make him a spokesperson for his generation.

In this book, Ian takes you on his journey, as his life is illustrated in all its facets with over 130 stunning photographs, accompanied by his own commentary and observations. From childhood days to Olympic triumph, Ian Thorpe – The Journey is a book for every one of Thorpey’s millions of fans and admirers.
