This is a name of the book which was written by Gordon Pirie, an English long-distance runner. The photo you see I took at one of the competitions: Pirie and Norris are running in this picture.

Pirie broke five world records during his career! In 1955 Pirie won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award. During that year he had beaten Emil Zatopek, the triple gold medallist in distance running in 1952 at the Olympics. But his rival was Vladimir Kuts, a Soviet long-distance runner, who won the 5000 and 10000 m races in 1956 at Olympics, setting Olympic records in both events.

Pirie was an exceptional cross-country runner: he won the English Championship three times.

So this year 376 sportsmen from the UK are the participants of the Olympic Games in Tokyo! So I wish good luck to everybody!
