This episode takes us on a sporting journey\\u2014on and off the field and track, inside the minds and lives of athletes known and unknown, as well as those who write about them. We have a great cast of readers, many of whom are rather well known sports writers and sports persons, people who have been immersed in the field. This genre, I\\u2019m discovering, is as much about the magic of what happens in formal and informal arenas as about the dynamics\\u2014the politics--that permeate broader social and cultural life. The readings offer some glimpses into the breadth of this genre.
