Description
Zatopek is an intimate portrait of legendary runner Emil Zátopek, arguably the greatest Olympic champion of all time. His remarkable achievements at the 1952 Helsinki Summer Olympics, including three gold medals in the 5,000 meter, 10,000 meter, and marathon events, have never been matched.
Beyond his impressive athletic career, Zátopek was a public figure known for his outspoken nature and willingness to challenge the status quo. His courage and conviction had a lasting impact on those around him, including his colleague Stanislav Jungwirth, who was allowed to compete after years of exclusion due to political reasons.
This book tells the extraordinary story of Zátopek's life, from his early relationships to the victories that cemented his legacy. Through the eyes of Jan Novák and Jaromír 99, readers gain a deeper understanding of this remarkable athlete and the enduring impact he had on those who knew him.
