Known as the Flying Scotsman, Eric Liddell had high Olympic hopes. But he also wouldn’t run on Sunday … even if that meant missing out on a gold medal for himself and his country. What happened next stunned the world.
100 years after his historic race and stand for his faith at the Paris 1924 Olympics, the games have returned to Paris and Eric Liddell's story is just as relevant as ever.
On today's episode of the Great Stories podcast, David Wollen reflects on Eric's life as an athlete and, more importantly, as a Christian. Eric's granddaughter, Patricia Russell, makes an appearance. You'll also get to learn more about the lesser-known, but no less incredible, parts of Eric's story following the Olympics, as well as the sacrifice he made before his death in a prison camp.
