The Czech runner's three gold medals at the 1952 Helsinki Summer Olympics, for the 5,000 metre, 10,000 metre, and marathon, is an achievement that has never been matched. His success as a runner made him a national hero, but as a public figure, outspoken and unafraid to take a stand, he was equally impressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEven before the Helsinki Games, Zátopek had scored a remarkable victory, successfully pressuring the communist regime to allow his colleague Stanislav Jungwirth, who until then had been excluded on political grounds, to compete. In \u003cem\u003eZátopek\u003c\/em\u003e, Jan Novák and Jaromír 99 trace the extraordinary life and times of the great Olympian, from his first meeting with Dana, the love of his life, to the victories that would ensure his lasting legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47433400156396,"sku":"9781910593882","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781910593882.jpg?v=1774765023"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jan-novak.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
