Eric Liddell, also known as the Flying Scotsman, was an unlikely Olympic champion. With a unique style of running - with his head back and mouth open - he was even ridiculed by his opponents. Still, he overcame all of that in the Paris 1924 Olympic Games.
Liddell's first Olympic final took place in the 200 metres competition where he won the Olympic bronze medal with a time of 21.9 seconds. However, his most impressive performance would come later in the 400m, where he covered the first 200m in an astonishing 22.2 seconds. During the second half of the race, he was still able to increase his lead against his fellow competitors to win the Olympic gold medal. His time - 47.6 seconds - was now the new Olympic record.

Can't run in my favourite event, the 100m, because it's on a Sunday and goes against my beliefs - no worries, I'll do the 400m!!!! Legend.
400 was on a different day. No compromise.
@@RobertVScotthe gave up the chance to win gold in the 100 to run in the 400, which was not an event he had trained for, or was expected to win.
"Those who honour Me, I will honour".
@@RobertVScottperhaps you don’t know WHY he would not compete on Sunday?
@@chrisbronsdon624 The movie isn't entirely accurrate. he did find out a couple of months in advance. And he did start to train for the 400m then. However it was still a relatively new race for him. He also missed out of the 4x100 relay but he did run in the 200 and won the bronze.
We are so very proud of our flying Scot, we are even more proud of his utter decent humanity. What a lovely man.
A remarkable man in every way. The definition of a role model.
Absolutely battered everyone from lane 8!! What a Olympian. Immortal!!!
Having run track myself and watching chariots of fire and loving Liddel character and now seeing the real Liddel makes me smile. Respect that he refused to run on sunday.
I just read For the Glory--biography of Eric Liddell. what an amazing human being.
i just finished it, as an audiobook. Did the book have a lot of photos?
Im reading it now and I love Eric so much
Y'all should also chariots of fire
I'm re reading it again. I'm so blessed by his example
Rival Harold Abrahams said in response to criticism of Liddell's style: "People may shout their heads off about his appalling style. Well, let them. He gets there."
"It's complete surrender." Eric's last words before he died in a Japanese internment camp in China, 1945. One of the truest statements I've ever come to know.
Oddly, the later general of the Jesuits, Arrupe who was about same age and present in Japan right outside Hiroshima when the bombing happen, could apply as best as he could from his early career path of Medicine, to help the thousands of survivors to what no medical training at the Time and for decades after prepared any doctor. And he said the same thing, once under such inhumane overwhelming experience of Death and folks in pieces smoking and falling apart. "It was a revelation, a complete surrender. Any of your human means to hold to the breath of Life surrendered back to the Maker"
Actually his lasts words were "surren...surren" then fell into a coma from a stroke caused by a brain tumor.
What did he mean "It's complete surrender" ?
@@dallasjones8185 I suppose Anne that he meant that he was surrendered to his Lord's will no matter where that would take him or what would be the cost.
@@pendragonU*and the Jesuits are responsible for the deaths of thousands of Bible believing Christians and other people worldwide. Shame on you for compading Eric Liddell to a JESUIT.*
Liddel was a unique man. He was one of the favourites to won the 100m in Paris 1924, but because one of the heats was on Sunday, he refused to run. He was entered into the 200 & 400m races getting a bronze and a gold respectively. His world record in the 400 m stood until 1960. Liddel died in a Japanese POW camp in early 1945 of a brain tumor. He was a missionary in China from 1925-45.
Not till 1960, no.
He held the European record in the 400m for 12 years, according to Wikipedia. Still an amazing feat!!
Proud to say he’s my great grandads 2nd cousin
I love youtube because we can hear about an interesting historic person, search it, and see the real person "living again" through youtube.
Yes but this is REAL footage too. Not AI
Simply the finest Olympian ever
Just read his biography, written by Duncan Hamilton, Truly inspiring man.
Great Runner. Great Champion. Great Scot. Great Man. Great Christian. I Cor. 10:31. That is Eric Liddell.
Put the playback speed at .5x, and it's way better!
it would be amazing to see how these athletes would have competed on the surfaces that today's athletes have the luxury of running on
jst watched Wings of Eagle and care here to due my respect to him....great person and saviour of humanity....may his soul be in peace...amen
Thank you for sharing this video... It is amazing to be able to "witness" this race!!...Eric made HISTORY and inspired many people in so many different levels!....
I read a book about Eric Liddell! It's great to actually see the real footage!
Chariots of fire brought me here ... those were the golden days ( and
i'm not british)
The 47 second time on s dirt track today would fall somewhere between 44 and 45 seconds. That guy was incredible. I ran a 47 second quarter mile at the Penn Relays, I thought I was going to die. I hate it when people talk shit about sports who never participated in the sport, especially track and field. Liddell was the Michael Johnson of his time. Even today there are very very small number of men who have run 43-45 second 400 meters. The vast majority of 400 meters ate below 46 seconds. Even today, Liddell would be competitive in the NCAA Division I Track and Field.
He would probably be even better just because being alive today would have allowed him to potentially thrive even more... everything is relative to its time though...
makes you wonder of those feats at running made centuries ago before clocks by the minute or perfected to the second accuracy, like the first Marathon runner who never prepared for a race like that but unflinching inner will to save his people made him run til his goal, dying off it. His Time? it did really not matter, he delivered
and true x2 running a 400 m. in his 100 m. style was almost suicidal, but he accomplished it even beating better runners specialized at that distance
47.6
Am here via Chariots......amazed to see that the stands are almost empty!
0:39 - On lane 4 Josef Imbach (Switzerland) is running. He was by that time unofficial world record holder with 48.0 sec. achieved in the quarter final the previous day. In the final Imbach went out hard, but tripped on the ropes used to separate the lanes, fell (0:42) and failed to finish.
The American coach who was not a track coach but a football coach told his runners to save something for the final tomorrow, they saved too much and didn't qualify for the finals.
Tripping was not relevant since Liddell had a significant lead with the finish line just a few meters away.
Before sound films, cameras were made to record film at different speeds: 16 or 20 frames per second for example. When they started making sound films, cameras and projectors were standardized at 24 fps - so the old 16s and 20s don't just look sped up, they are!
Liddell was way ahead of his time. Way before marathon runners were taking on board mid-race refreshments Liddell was well versed in keeping glycogen levels high with an array of flies, moths and anything else he was able to suck into that gaping orifice. Sheer genius.
Haha
Yawn 🥱
Lol.. Nice.
His mouth was shut the entire time though
An amazing man!
He’s related to me its interesting seeing my family history
впечатляющая история о вере в Бога! пусть весь мир подождет, а в воскресенье в храм!
I can't help but feel bad for that guy who fell down right at the end. :/
Notice how he just laid there.
@@emmanueloshaddai3259 pretty sure he dropped because of climate change or he never had any Gatorade. Either way he'd lived a half decent life to that point except for the plague that wiped out his entire village oh, and his dog apparently ran away from him. His name was Lackta Zeborshnikov and he was being groomed to be a dissident in his Native Blogslovia at this, the time of his passing. what could have been we'll always wonder!!!
@@emmanueloshaddai3259 John Taylor of the USA. His ankle gave way. He got up and officially posted 5th, but the injury ended his career in track. In the movie, Chariots of Fire, he's depicted asking his coach if he should be worried about Liddle.
@@TheGiantKillers thanks for sharing that!
From the outside lane. That ain't easy.
Head back - Very smart, opens the breathing passage, and is exactly what CPR training calls for when administering mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. I tried this and it makes a noticeable difference, especially up hills and during finishing kick.

Absolute master runner but his character is what stands out for me. Inspirational does do him justice.
More important as success is to know and belief that Jesus died for your sins and to pray for forgivness to get eternal life.
Eric did know that.
Yup and died of a brain tumour ! Did he deserve that !
Put video speed at .25, open up another browser and put Chariots of Fire music on, start this video, enjoy the race
Or put the Chariots of Fire version of the race next to the real one. They have a Swede in the race instead of the other Brit, Guy Butler for some reason and also depict the Swiss, Imbach finishing the race.
People are always breaking world records. Liddell broke the record then, but people have broken his as well. And don't look down on it. He was groundbreaking then. In one hundred years from now, Michael Johnson and Usain Bolt will be history as well.
I think the circumstances of how Eric Liddell broke the world record in the 400 m, however, makes his race one of the most remarkable in history. Firstly, the 400 m was not his event. He refused to compete in his best event (100 m) because it was on a Sunday, and then just months before the Olympics games, started training for the 400 m which he had only competed in a handful of times before. Secondly, Eric wasn’t even considered a contender in the 400 m. Thirdly, Eric was given the outside lane - the absolute worst lane in track for this event. Fourthly, this was a 500 m track so that made running in the outside lane even more of a disadvantage. Fifthly, Eric was only about 5’8” and at most 150 pounds, which made him the smallest and shortest person competing in the 400 m - which is yet another disadvantage. Sixthly, Eric had already run multiple races that day in 100 plus degree heat. Seventh - Eric’s running form was such that it’s a miracle he knew where he’s going! :) I don’t think there’s ever been another victory in Olympic history quite like this!
Verdadeiros herois do esporte.
dam he really did run with his chin in the air I thought that was just in the movie
Read this guy's wiki, its quite amazing
Can’t wait for the 2024 Paris Olympics- 100 years after they were last held there.
Kerr just won the 1200 at the World Championships, hopefully he'll pull it off in Paris to commemorate Liddell's win a 100 years ago.
Thoughts of Allan Wells🎖...too 🙋🏼♀️ 🙂
Just a great story
Chariots of Fire. Watch the movie if you haven't done so yet.
That music certainly added to the watching experience didn’t it? Sarcasm btw.
"A boy's war" by David Michell tells his story. He would not break his Sabbath vow for Glory but he would for the sake of some children.
1896 Athens, 1900 Paris, 1904 St. Louis, 1908 London, 1912 Stockholm, 1916 Berlin was canceled for Word War I. 1920 Antwerp & 1924 Paris.
Who ran for God till his last breath on this earth
Some say he was colorblind and because of this his starts were his weak parts because he couldn’t see the smoke rise from the star’s pistol
Properly coached, with modern starting blocks, he would have run even faster.
This was the "Chariots of Fire" story.
That was the great time of olimpic games I admire those quality of men indeed
Tuvo un final muy triste por la maldita guerra.
The winner takes it all!
I believe he lived in my Village Drymen for a few years
Aargh, feel bad for John Taylor, the guy who fell at the end :(. But hats off to Liddell!
Somebody further up has said it was a Swiss runner Josef Imbach the actual world record holder.
@@acechadwick They both fell. If you look back down the track, you can see Imbach on the home turn.
"it comes from within.."
as stated above he got the bronze in the 200m, but Abrahams was 6th and last
The subject of only the best sports movie in history, no big deal. "...He made me fast." Handsome fella as well, kind of has Henry Cavill vibes.
It's all about the frame rates then, and now. The camera then was hand cranked. The only form of speed regulation was the cameraman going "one one thousand, two one thousand" as he rotated the handle. Old flicks ran at anywhere from 12 to 22 frames per second. Today it's possible to produce normal-speed versions of the older silents through a process known as stretch printing. But it's tedious and expensive and many film labs hate to do it, so it's mostly reserved for special projects.
Olympic 2024 Paris is the cursed opening ever
47.6 on a cinder track with leather shoes from lane 8. Not bad for someone who was supposed to be running the 100m. Also, you had to go through three rounds to reach the final.
He could run like the wind blows.....
🇬🇧👑 J'espère qu'Eric Liddell est heureux dans le paradis le beau royaume de son altesse royale Jésus le Messie 😇

Thank you for the video but the background music is a bit loud. Distracting.
From the outside lane, like Wade van Niekerk.
Look like Sigmund Freud at 1:00 ! LOL
They all are eventually broken at some point. Usain's 100m record is huge though. The pole vault record remains untouched its so good. It just takes time and a special athlete. It will happen. Always does.
Just like another great Christian - Wade Van Niekerk won the 400m from lane 8 and set a world record.
He won in drug free unlike Van Niekerk.
Why is this video unavailable now?
How long was the track? They started and finished on the straight. Was it 300m?
Track looks short, maybe 300m
Apparently, the track was 500m in circumference. So they ran a straight section, followed by a curve, and then finished on another straight section.
@@roybean7166 It was 500 m.
@@sportsmed77 thanks !
two guys fell down in the 400 m final....
yea i guess, usains may never be broken tho
Reality is not a hollywod movie my friend
Waiting for someone to colorize this video!
❤✝
Music by?
Is the clip true?
Is it at that time the race was 440 yards, or 400 meters?
Always ran in meters to my knowledge. I think they had some funny distances in swimming very early but track to my knowledge was always meters except the Marathon 26 miles 385 yards. Tradition.
wheres the chariots of fire theme???
My favorite part is the guy in the middle who bites the dust.
He had set the world record in the heats I believe.
🥰
because its on film and its like 5 fps lawl
Amen Jesus gave him that🙏
It would help if you could spell his name correctly.

because they hadn't that much frames per second..
@ 2PacalypseYO4 Er. Mister Liddell destroyed the best American 400 meter runners of HIS generation. He'd probably lose to the best of today's generation because they've had nearly a hundred years of development of both fitness and training regimens, and let's be frank - better and less detectable drugs. But his heid's no' back yet.
On the other hand, the runners of today, if they were training in the condition of the 1920s would likely not beat him.
There is always the personal and individual make up, some by genetic throw and childhood circumstance had been born with a blessed and rare combination to be really faster than average, and there's so much that conditioning and improvement can do to a point, but without the horse genes of speed to begin with _it can not do without. Just think what mr. Lidell with improving training and conditioning as the best Today could do and get provided, outdoing them anyway too if all things were equalled. You cant really compare airplanes of the Time with supersonic jets of Today, but gove any pilot of back then a tour and adapting period and they'll fly, probably meaner than those used to easy ways with Power shots already fixed. Never underestimate the psychological power in Human performances beyond physique, and this Scotsman had an unusual will of steel magnified by his deep spiritual call
ok cool
i know that, im just stating a fact
He's a Christian sonic
i don't he would be as good as competitors 2day

How did a guy who loafed every Sunday get in that kind of shape?
Had six days to train, The Lord's Day to rest and regenerate.
Joe you know nothing about track. The quarter is one tough race
Six days running one day off. There is a day called sunday when this man gave praise to his god. Your a man who should think first.
Lots of Africans would’ve smoked these fellas
Maybe, but keep in mind that Eric Liddell beat Harry Edward, who was the first black athlete to medal in the Olympics in sprinting. Harry won two bronze medals in the 1920 Olympics. Eric Liddell beat him in their races a couple of years later. Archie Williams (black American) won the 400 meters twelve years later in 46.1 seconds, but he got to run with starting blocks and improved spikes. Starting blocks weren’t around when Eric Liddell ran, and he was so competitive that had he kept running and training and gotten to use starting blocks and compete against someone like Archie, I think he would have been running similar times.
