"I have always known that in another life I was - or will be - a dolphin." The fifteen-year old New Zealand swimming champ Alexandra Arthur set her goal on competing in the Rome Olympics. Alex was not the only one to have this goal in mind - her rival Maggie Benton was happy to have some healthy competition. The way to success was not always smooth. Alex broke her leg while playing hockey one afternoon during the preparation for Rome and after that she had to cope with the grief of losing the boy she loved. But in the end she overcame all the difficulties and found herself standing on the starting board of the Rome Olympics. It is an inspirational read and I like it very much.
Who would enjoy this? Sports fans.
