Emil Zatopek
Emil Zátopek is the famous Czech long-distance runner with three gold medals at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki. He won gold medals in the 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter races, but his final medal came when he decided at the last minute to compete on his first marathon. It has been nicknamed the "Czech locomotive". In 1954, Zátopek was the first athlete to cross the fence in 29 minutes at a distance of 10,000 m. Three years earlier, in 1951, he had broken hours to run 20 km. He is considered one of the greatest runners of the 20th century and is also known for his brutal training methods. He was the initiator of intermittent and ventilatory training. In February 2013, the editors of Runner's World Magazine chose him as the greatest runner of all time. He is the only one who has won a 5,000 meter, 10,000 meter and a marathon at the same Olympics.
