The British Czech and Slovak Association (BCSA) invites you to an illustrated talk by Pat Butcher on THE LIFE AND (HARD) TIMES OF EMIL ZÁTOPEK.
With close to a score of world records and the hero of the 1952 Olympic Games, Emil Zátopek was the most successful athlete in Czech(oslovak) history. His later support for the Prague Spring led to his exclusion from public life and to work as a labourer in a uranium mine, though he was rehabilitated after 1989 and awarded high honours.
