Steven Kedie

An Olympic athlete pursues an elusive goal, in this powerful novel of competition, obsession, and the limits of endurance.

 Hours after finishing fourth in his first Olympic final, British long jumper Adam Lowe stands at the bar of a nightclub with the man who beat him to a medal. Little does he know, the tense conversation between them will spark a rivalry that, for Lowe, will become all-consuming.

 Experiencing incredible victories and crushing defeats, Lowe pushes his mental, physical, professional, and personal strength to the limit. But when this fierce competition goes beyond anything he thought possible, Lowe must confront the question: What if you perform to your greatest ability—and still don’t win?
