About this ebook
What does it take to be the greatest?
Whether it’s part of a team like cyclist Geraint Thomas, who won gold in the team pursuit event in Beijing 2008, or notching up a record-beating 11 gold medals in the swimming pool for paralympic swimmer David Roberts to equal the record set by Dame Tanni Grey Thompson, the athletes featured in Going For Gold have one aim - to win.
This collection of stories from Wales’s top current and future athletes will inspire others to follow their goals.
Foreword by Olympic gold medallist Lynn Davies CBE, President of UK Athletics
Featuring Dai Greene, David Roberts, Geraint Thomas, Jazz Carlin and Nathan Stephens.
