Greater Than the Games Vol. 1: MKE2028 takes the reader deep into the world of Olympic Games host city bids - including a foreword by five-time gold medalist Bonnie Blair Cruikshank - through the lens of Milwaukee and Wisconsin. For four years, journalist Jay Sorgi privately led innovative Milwaukee business and community leaders in developing, discerning and testing a potential bid for a Summer Olympic Games in Wisconsin with key leaders in the Olympic movement and Wisconsin sports. Their plan attacked many of Milwaukee's civic challenges along with the ills that the Olympics have struggled with in recent decades, providing creative solutions to everything from residential displacement to improving the athletes' experience, all while mitigating or eliminating public cost. "Jay's approach takes the intricate nuts and bolts of an Olympic plan, brings them to life in the story, and shows how it makes sense while solving a lot of the issues within the Olympic Games," said Bonnie. "You almost feel like you could picture everything as you're reading it. Intertwined within this book is not just how we could put an Olympics on in Milwaukee, but how you can actually see it, visualize it with so many people that were the parts that make it come all together."
