  As an increasing number of sports are covered by television, so there are more rules to learn and more technical terms to understand. This book presents rules, tactics and terms at a glance in 60 different sports ranging from alpine skiing to wrestling. Profiles of stars such as Nick Faldo, Nigel Mansell and Lester Piggott are mixed with facts to keep trivia fans on their toes. Each sport is broken down into the following areas: playing field, pool, course or surface; essential equipment; scoring (how to win); dos and don'ts - the rules; skills and tactics; and TV terms (sports jargon).
