|Honoured in both Scotland and China as one of their great-ever athletes, Liddell refused to run in the 1924 Olympic 100m on a Sunday. Instead, he competed in the 400m and though it was not his best event he won the gold medal. Returned to China as a missionary and was devoted to helping the sick and poor.
