From the adrenaline-fuelled, heart-racing action on the ski slopes, be it men's downhill or snowboarding or the imposing ski-jump hills, winter sports cover a vast array of activities. This book profiles the lot: outlining the origins and development of these sports, and offering insight into winter sports' greatest stars.

From the adrenaline-fuelled, heart-racing action on the ski slopes, be it men's downhill or snowboarding, the slick, ice-glazed chutes of the bobsleigh and luge runs or the imposing ski-jump hills, to the more stately atmosphere of the figure-skating arena or the highly-tactical action on the curling rink, and the raw physicality of ice hockey, winter sports cover a vast array of activities. "Winter Sports Records 2013" profiles the lot: outlining the origins and development of these sports, providing biographies of the sports' greatest practitioners and offering an eye-catching insight into winter sports' greatest stars. The latest in Carlton's ever-growing line of "World Records" books, "Winter Sports Records 2013" is a ground-breaking look at winter sports and is essential reading for sports fans of all ages.

Chris Hawkes grew up playing cricket and rugby, going on to play professional cricket for Leicestershire CCC, as well as sampling club cricket around the world, before moving into publishing. He was editor of the bestselling Cricketer's Who's Who annual for a number of years and has gone on to write a number of books, including, for Carlton, The Encyclopedia of Golf, 1001 Sporting Records and both World Cricket Records and World Rugby Records. Having previously lived in the Italian Alps, Chris now lives in France, where he enjoys wintering in the Alps and Pyrenees.
