True story of the 1924 Olympics. Eric Liddell disqualified himself from the 100 meters because he wouldn't run on the sabbath. A teammate gave up his spot in the 400 meters so that he would have a chance at a medal on another day.

GOD said...He who honors me..i will honor!

I like this video because
1.When we are confidence about God, God makes us confident.
2.All power lies within,mainly in our thinking.
3.Living for purpose.
All three are equally beautiful and important.

@teegilled If you mean to say that it was his BELIEF in god and not GOD himself that enabled him to win, you're right. His faith gave him discipline to stay true to his principles, which made him stronger spiritually and athletically. Just goes to show that religion isn't entirely a bad thing. It can sometimes be motivational. If I believe that God made me specifically for running, I'd run a hell of a lot harder than without that belief because I'd know that I was destined to run hard.

In 1945, five months before liberation, Eric Liddell died in a Japanese prison camp in China. He was in China for his missionary work. He won the 400 meters in 1924 because of his faith, and he gave his life in 1945 for the same reason. Whether you are a religious person or not (and I am not), his adherence to his principles is more than admirable, it's something to be emulated.
