The Times Anthology of the London Olympics

The sports desk of The Times mounted its biggest ever operation for the coverage of the 2012 Olympic Games. In the Olympic Park and around the venues a team of writers and photographers covered the unfolding drama of the greatest Games in memory while back in the office at Wapping editors, designers and sub-editors made sure that the big stories– online and digitally as well as in print – were brought to the readers with flair and speed.

The result was widely acknowledged as the most stunning coverage of London 2012 from any newspaper. The daily supplements conveyed all the big stories told by some of the biggest names in sports journalism while the paper’s wrap-around covers, featuring sumptuous photography, proved hugely popular with readers and became one of the most memorable parts of all the media coverage.

Now, in The Times Anthology of the London Olympics, you can revisit some of that brilliant journalism with a selection of articles from the pages of The Times. Featuring some of the biggest names in sports writing, including Simon Barnes, Matt Dickinson, Matthew Syed and Giles Smith, as well as contributions from feature writers, Lynne Truss and Giles Coren, and despatches from award-winning news reporters, including Martin Fletcher, this Kindle single provides a snapshot of some of the Times’ coverage.

It is a perfect way to recapture the unforgettable story of those 17 days.
