Our Christmas gift suggestion: Quicksilver, the Mercurial Emil Zatopek, a book by Pat Butcher. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32739986-quicksilver
One of the best books I’ve ever read.I met and interviewed Emil Zatopek and Pat Butcher was better than most.
Emil Zatopek rewrote the record books from 5000m to 20000m and one hour.
He invented double threshold learning.
He was a patriot as well as a Marxist who was demoted in the Czech army after supporting the Czech Spring Uprising of 1968.
He is the only person to win 5000m, 10000m and marathon gold in the same Olympics (1952).
When he finished the marathon, his wife Daniela was winning the javelin.
She is incredibly inspiring and a great holiday read.
