Yes, chajin made a reference to Eric Liddell, noting no relation to the subject of this article. He is the Scottish runner who won the 400m in Paris in 1924 after he wouldn’t run the 100m because it was being held on a Sunday, which conflicted with his beliefs.The next year Liddell then went to China as a missionary in his father's footsteps, was captured by the Japanese, kept as a prisoner of war in despicable conditions, and died on Feb. 21, 1945, before he could be rescued. In effect he is the Presbyterian version of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, or vice versa.
Thanks on Eric Lidell. And he was treated fairly with no sarcasm in the movie. I loved the “Chariots of Fire” movie when it first came out. For me, running at all distances is the ultimate sport. The ultimate physical test for men.
They don’t make movies like that anymore.
