Zátopek

His nickname was “Czech locomotive”. Eighteen world records holder Emil Zátopek is most famous for the Olympic Games in Helsinki, where he won the run for 5 km, 10 km and marathon. Nobody has repeated his success and athletics experts doubt that anyone ever do so. Emil Zátopeks’ grandiose success comes alive in the document by David Ondříček in the memories of his loved ones, friends and rivals. (Czech Television)
