In Praise of Sport is a collection of writing from an arts project done by the men of HMP Wandsworth, London Ð a built book of artwork and writing all to do with sport and the Olympics. The Book: In Praise of Sport, was given as a gift to Team GB for the London 2012 Olympics and was an official feature of the Cultural Olympiad. In Praise of Sport includes most of the written material from the arts project; it reveals a group of people who share a rich history of sporting success and failure, who miss their families and regret their mistakes.
