註釋

"A family tragedy during her teenage years in South Africa motivates Abby Dennison, a highly talented track runner, to become the world number one over fifteen hundred metres. James Selfe, an ambitious athletics meeting director in London, sets up a mile race and invites the sport's top women contenders to compete. Breaking the world record is the target. Deon Coetzee is an up-and-coming sportswriter who becomes a key player in Abby's quest to break the record. Mark Whyte, a successful entrepreneur, follows Abby's career from an ever-shortening distance. The opposition comes from more than just the best athletes in the race. The risks are numerous. This is the real world of elite track athletes, where sporting brilliance is no guarantee of success, where races are run on a knife-edge and a dark underbelly exists alongside fame, fortune, accolades and records. Ultimately, Abby must ask herself this is winning enough?"--
