This authoritative compilation of athletic achievements in all sports is absolutely unique. It includes the athletic activities of the many Armenian athletes, coaches, and sports personalities in the United States and Canada from 1906 to the present. Composed of over 500 pages, this text contains more than 300 pictures. There are thrilling accounts of outstanding individual accomplishments, and profile stories. Many of the men and women included in this sports chronicle are personally known to the author, Richard Demirjian. Because of his lifelong interest in sports, both as a participant and a fan, Demirjian decided to research the accomplishments of the many Armenian athletes and coaches in the United States and Canada. Hopefully, this book will be enjoyed and used as a reference by all sports fans, not simply those interested in athletic achievements by Armenians.
The introduction by the author and foreword by Dr. Ara Hairabedian, an All-American in
gymnastics and a Professor of Physical Education and Human Performance at California State University at Fresno, present interesting commentaries on the Ancient Olympic Games, as well as some engaging history of the Modem Olympics and the Armenian Olympics.
This book is truly a Who's Who of Armenian sports personalities in the United States and Canada. It is also the first book ever written which focuses exclusively on Armenian participants.
