In The Meaning of Sport, award winning sports writer Simon Barnes gives you his grandstand seat for a journey from the Olympic Games in Athens to the World Cup in Germany – via the Ashes series, the Ryder Cup, Wimbledon, and more. He examines why sport holds us all in such thrall, how it uplifts and crushes us – and can seem to matter more than life itself. He challenges us to recognise the intelligence of Wayne Rooney, the making of Freddie Flintoff, the mythic nature of Steve Redgrave; and he ponders the ultimate cruelty of the game. This is the book which asks the questions no one else has thought of, and finds some surprising answers. Sport has never been written about like this before

    Carl Lewis wrote about it later on, in his autobiography Inside Track

    Sport is not only – perhaps not at all – an examination of how good you are at running, jumping, controlling a ball. It is also a matter of who defers to whom. Sport is the most intensely physical thing that humans do, or do in public, anyway. And yet the tales we tell are not of bodies but of hearts and minds and souls.

    Perhaps sport matters because it doesn’t matter:
