At the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki, Finland, Emil Zatopek ran his first marathon...ever.  He had already run the 5km and the 10km...and earned gold medals in each.  So, he thought, "why not give the marathon a try."  

Emil Zatopek earned his third gold medal in Helsinki, winning the very first ever marathon by over 2 minutes and setting a new Olympic Record in the process...beating the previous record by 6 minutes.  Zatopek's three gold medals in one Olympics in all of the long distance running events is a feat that has never been matched.  

Now, I'm old--but I'm not old enough to have actually watched the '52 Summer Olympics when it was run.  (The first Summer Olympics run while I was alive was Mexico City in '68--told you I'm old.)  But I knew of Zatopek--in sports history books I'd read, in Wide World of Sports reports that Jim McKay would narrate, in documentary films retelling the greatest stories of the modern Olympic games.  

"The Unstoppable Czech Locomotive" was not elegant when he ran.  But he could summon, seemingly from sheer force of will, the strength to endure and the willingness to push beyond what anyone else could handle.    

As all modern stories do, there is a disclaimer here that, later in his life, when his fame could no longer protect him...he had to retract the strong support of those who would keep the Soviet influence in Czechoslovakia at bay, and he would kowtow to the regime and spout the party line, despite it being at odds with everything we know about his character.  

I would never want to put myself in Emil Zatopek's shoes--I would have to imagine that they would be rather stinky...and probably wouldn't fit.   But, nothing can take away the fact that Zatopek showed the world what was possible.  

I thought that was worthy of my meager tribute--a loud, noisy, techno track with an unusual drum track and both quotes from Zatopek over the years, and reporting of his achievements as they happened.    

(...and, it turns out, this was an excellent bit of inspiration for an Interbay track.  I hope you agree!)  

Please, give it a listen, a like, repost it, share it, comment on it, add it to a playlist...and then go ahead and follow this page for even MORE Interbay, every single day (so far!)
