Book Deals Galore for Olympic Athletes

Olympic champion Nastia Liukin is expected to be the latest Olympic star to ink a lucrative book deal.


Liukin is reported to be in talks with two publishers about a two-book deal. Industry sources estimate it will fall somewhere under the $1.6 million that eight-time Olympic gold medal swimmer Phelps got for an inspirational memoir, according to the New York Post’s Keith Kelly.


Olympic swimmer Dara Torres also has a book deal, which she lined up before the Games began earlier this month.
