reviewed The Matchless Six: The Story of Canada's First Women's Olympic Team on December 29, 2020 The Matchless Six
Wonderful story of six ladies competing in the 1928 Olympics as the country's very first women's Track & Field team. We are provided a brief history of each athlete and how she made this Olympic squad. Each with a very different background and personality, the reader is drawn to their enthusiasm and contributions to the team.
Incidents throughout the story of commendable efforts are most entertaining. You feel as though you are in the stands or next to the track cheering them on! The outcomes are realistic (because they are!) yet not always predictable. I will share this book with other folks interested in sports, competition and especially Track and Field.
