Harper Collins Chris Hoy: The Autobiography

Sir Chris Hoy is the first Briton to win three Olympic golds at the same games since 1908, sparking euphoric celebrations when he returned from Beijing in 2008. He is a beacon for British sporting achievement.

Hoy's inspirational autobiography tells the incredible story of how the cycling fanatic from Edinburgh became a Commonwealth, world and Olympic champion against the toughest odds.

Warm, frank and incredibly down-to-earth, this is a fascinating insight into the life of an ordinary man who was determind to achieve something truly extraordinary.
