Description
Do you want to know how a man lived who discovered what he was meant for and did it? If so, then the first comprehensive biography of the legendary runner Emil Zátopek is the answer for you. It tells of his childhood in a large family, his youth in Baťa's Zlín, the time when running sports were being born in our country, about respected competitors and friends, about the army and discipline, about marriage, and also about politics. But above all, it is still about running. The book is a reminder of the fate of a man who, as the only athlete in the history of world running sports, achieved a golden hat trick at the Olympic Games in 1952. It confirms that if you do anything with one hundred percent effort, it is impossible not to succeed, even if you don't win Olympic gold. And under Zátopek's motto 'Can't you? Add!' it is also an inspiration for all of us amateur runners.
