"Eric Liddell was the son of a Scottish missionary to China and a devoutly religious man. He infuriated the British leadership of the [1924] Olympics by refusing, even under enormous pressure, to run in a preliminary 100-meter race held on Sunday. Ultimately he was victorious in the 400-meter race."
