The Olympic Games bind us like no other performative event. They evoke emotion. They attach us to athletes around the globe, and through them, we explore the complexities of life, from its challenges and disappointments to its great pleasures. Friendship, aggression, failure, honor, humiliation, pride, loss and hope—these are all emotions we experience through the Olympics. It is a fascinating indulgence. Those who are bitten by the Olympic bug could spend years reading and researching its athletes and events. You, like many, may want to try and test your Olympic passion by competing with other aficionados in ‘trivial’ pursuit—a game of pure knowledge.  125 Year of Olympics is a book is a clever amalgamation of the story of the Olympic Games and related trivia. It is an attempt to reminisce and celebrate the story of one of history's greatest events.  Aniket Mishra is an ardent quizzer and runner with a Master of Philosophy from Delhi University.
