As a young child Eric Liddell lived in the exotic climate of China.
His parents worked there as missionaries, teaching the good news of
Jesus. Eric's life from then on brought him to boarding school in
England, university in Edinburgh and the fame of Olympic Stardom in
Paris. But with that fame came trouble as he struggled to stand up
for his Christian faith. Eric's strong belief in keeping the Lord's
Day as a day of worship was challenged when his 100 metres race was
scheduled for the Sunday. Eric's strength of conviction and his
subsequent win in the 400 metres have made him a hero and a role
model for many young men and women. But his life was so much more
than winning tapes and starters' orders - his whole life was a race
for God. This race took him back to the country of his birth -
China. This country became the country of his death in a Prisoner
of War camp. The man who became known affectionately as the 'Flying
Scotsman' in the end lived and died in China - thousands of miles
from his native land and his athletic conquests. A More than Gold
