The Greatest Athlete - You've Never Heard Of

This audiobook explores the remarkable life of George Washington Orton, Canada's first Olympic gold medalist, who overcame childhood paralysis to become a legendary distance runner, hockey pioneer, and scholar. Through an unexpected twist of history, Orton's achievements were once mistakenly credited to the United States, leaving him largely unknown in Canada. The narrative follows Mark Hebscher's two-year journey of discovery as he uncovers Orton's inspiring story and contributions to sports and beyond.
