Liddell and Abrahams weren't just ordinary athletes - the first was a devout Scottish Christian who runs for God and the second was an English Jew who has to overcome some pretty grim facets of human nature, including prejudices far beyond reason. In fact Liddell was so enraptured with his religious beliefs, he flatly refused to run one Olympic 1924 event because it fell on a Sunday, not a good day to be observing the Sabbath AND hoping to notch up a medal.

The Gielgud Theatre in London's West End will be hosting an extensive five-month run of a new adaptation of Chariots of Fire, which will include the original storyline and the impressive Vangelis themes and soundtracks. This is truly an Olympic tale that is sure to entice theatre-goers and sports fans alike.
