Story
Quando prende l'argento alle olimpiadi di Montreal nel '76 Greg Louganis ha solo 16 anni ed è all'esordio. Quella volta perde da Klaus Dibiasi che infila il suo terzo oro olimpico consecutivo. Louganis perde quella volta e poi non perde più. Ma proprio più. Per dodici anni vince sempre, qualunque cosa, in qualunque competizione internazionale, giochi Panamericani, mondiali, olimpiadi. Oro. Sempre.

Story
L'uomo che nel 1997 corre lungo le strade di Tokyo portando la torcia dei giochi invernali di Nagano non è una leggenda olimpica. O perlomeno non lo è in senso classico. Non ha realizzato imprese colossali, frantumato record mondiali o dato vita a duelli memorabili in pista. Grazie a una storia che se non fosse vera sarebbe un romanzo d'avventura.

Story
È il 19 agosto del 2008. C'è il sole a Pechino. Nello stadio olimpico a forma di nido si corre la quinta batteria dei 200 metri donne. La prima a tagliare il traguardo è la giamaicana Veronica Campbell Brown in 23"04. L'ultima è una ragazza di 17 anni, alta e magra, con i pantaloncini lunghi fino alle ginocchia, una fascia tergisudore sulla fronte e le scarpe regalatele da un'atleta della squadra sudanese. Chiude in 32"16.

Story
Quattro medaglie d'oro sono quattro medaglie d'oro. Ma quattro medaglie d'oro vinte da un nero dell'Alabama in faccia a Hitler sono un'altra cosa. Il granello che inceppa la macchina di quelle celebrazioni del nazional-socialismo che furono i giochi di Berlino del '36. Lui. James Cleveland Owens, detto Jesse. Il figlio del vento e di un povero agricoltore emigrato in Ohio per provare a sfamare lui e i suoi nove fratelli.

Story
È il 25 marzo 1972 al Cross-Country Championships di Hillingdon. A vincere è un certo Kirk Dumpleton. Di lui non si parlerà mai più. Di altri due che arrivano al traguardo invece si. Secondo è un sedicenne di nome Stephen Michael James Ovett. Più indietro, in decima posizione, un quindicenne: Sebastian Newbold Coe. Sebastian Coe e Steve Ovett. Ovvero la rivalità perfetta. Non c'è sceneggiatore al mondo che avrebbe potuto immaginarla altrettanto bene. Il nice boy e il bad boy.

Story
È l'alba del 5 settembre 1972. Il marciatore israeliano Shaul Ladany si sveglia di soprassalto nel suo letto del villaggio olimpico di Monaco. È andato a dormire da poco. Fino alle 3 aveva ritagliato gli articoli di giornale che parlavano della sua gara: la 50 chilometri di marcia. In quel momento il sangue di Moshe Weinberg è già sull'asfalto. Il suo corpo è crivellato dai colpi di kalashnikov del commando di Settembre nero.

Story
È il 27 ottobre 1968. Siamo praticamente al sipario. Si corre la gara di chiusura: la maratona. A vincerla è l'etiope Mamo Wolde, ma non sarà lui quello che verrà ricordato. Il protagonista vero è invece uno sconosciuto atleta della Tanzania che si chiama John Stephen Akhwari che al chilometro diciannove cade e si fa male. Ha una spalla malconcia, una gamba sanguinante. Non è neanche in grado di appoggiare il piede e il traguardo è lontano.

Story
Lo zar semplicemente era imbattibile. E lo zar era Aleksandr Popov. Per tutti era lo zar, ma per gli americani era Big Dog, il cagnaccio. Perché non ti mollava mai. Inesorabile. Nel 2000 Popov si presenta a Sidney per affrontare la sua terza olimpiade. Può diventare l'unico nuotatore nella storia a vincere tre ori di fila nella stessa specialità. Il traguardo è lì ad un passo.

"Flo-Jo", come era soprannominata Florence Griffith Joyner, nasce a Los Angeles, in California. Nel 1984 ai Giochi olimpici di Los Angeles vince la medaglia d'argento nei 200 metri piani giungendo seconda dietro Valerie Brisco-Hooks. Nel giro di una breve estate Flo-Jo era diventata una donna bionica. Una bacchetta magica l'aveva strasformata.

Story
Quella di Richard "Dick" Norris Williams potrebbe essere una storia notevole, ma per forza non più notevole di altre. Quella di un tennista, tra i migliori al principio del '900, quando il tennis era ancora un passatempo per le classi agiate. Un campione con dei successi e degli allori, ma in fondo niente altro da segnalare.

Story
Dire che Edwin Moses sia stato il più grande interprete dei 400 ostacoli di ogni tempo è dire tanto. Ma è anche non dire abbastanza. Per più di un decennio è stato semplicemente un'altra cosa. Non tanto per i due ori olimpici, per i record mondiali battuti. Nemmeno per quell'imbattibilità durata esattamente nove anni, nove mesi e nove giorni che gli ha fruttato una sequenza interminabile di 122 vittorie consecutive.

Story
1992, giochi olimpici di Barcellona. Si corre la semifinale dei 400 metri piani maschili. Dereck Redmond, ha 26 anni, è il primatista britannico. E quell'attesa l'ha già vissuta un'altra volta, quattro anni prima, sulla pista di Seoul. Era pronto, si stava riscaldando quando il tendine di achille ha fatto crack. Allo stadio, tra le 56.000 persone che affollano lo stadio del Montjuic, c'è anche il padre. Che lo ha visto partire e risollevarsi, che lo ha accompagnato fin lì e che adesso lo sta guardando dalla tribuna.

È il giorno della finale del singolare maschile di tennis alle Olimpiadi di Atlanta. A contendersi l'oro, sul cemento degli impianti di Stone Mountain, ci sono Sergi Bruguera e Andre Agassi. Lo spagnolo è uno specialista della terra rossa, ha vinto per due volte il Roland Garros, arrivando fino alla posizione numero 3 del ranking mondiale. Agassi invece è semplicemente Agassi. Uno dei più grandi tennisti del decennio. Un'icona della sua generazione. Più che un tennista, una rockstar. È il 3 agosto del 1996: Agassi e Bruguera si preparano a scendere in campo.

Non ce n'è. O sei inglese o segui il canottaggio, oppure il nome di Steve Redgrave rischia di non dirti abbastanza. Eppure è il nome di una delle grandi leggende della storia dell'Olimpiade. Cinque medaglie d'oro in cinque edizioni consecutive dei giochi. Poco importa che ci siano atleti che alle olimpiadi hanno vinto più di lui, magari anche solo nella stessa edizione dei giochi. Poco importa che il pistard Cris Hoy gli abbia strappato nel 2012 a Londra il record di atleta inglese più medagliato di sempre. Steve Redgrave, resta un monumento.

La storia degli atleti è il racconto dei successi, delle medaglie, delle vittorie, dei record. Quello che spesso non si racconta però sono gli episodi. Quelle piccole cose che possono interrompere la carriera di un atleta di successo. Piccole cose che spesso non c'entrano con lo sport. Come è sucesso a Gabriella Dorio.

Story
19 luglio 1996, Atlanta. Cerimonia d'apertura della ventiseiesima olimpiade. La fiaccola olimpica entra nello stadio portata dal lanciatore del disco Al Oerter, poi passa nelle mani del campione del mondo dei pesi massimi Evander Holyfield e della vincitrice dei 100 ostacoli di Barcellona Voula Patoulidou. L'ultimo tedoforo è la nuotatrice statunitense Janet Evans che si inerpica su per le tribune. In cima, ad attenderla, c'è qualcuno che la aspetta dietro una quinta. Ancora invisibile agli spettatori e agli occhi delle telecamere.

Dieci. La perfezione. Un punteggio che alle olimpiadi, nella ginnastica artistica, non si era mai visto prima. Non c'era riuscita Korbut, dominatrice di Monaco '72. Non c'era riuscita Latynina che di medaglie olimpiche ne aveva vinte addirittura diciotto. Per la perfezione si sarebbe dovuto attendere il 1976. E una ragazzina rumena di quattordici anni. Si chiama Nadia Comaneci. Quando si presenta in pedana per l'esercizio alle parallele asimmetriche ha un body bianco, il numero 73 e i capelli raccolti in un codino. Si alza un istante sulle punte, prende una breve rincorsa e poi.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Story
“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
