Conquerors of time
by Lynn McConnell
The story of the 1500m at the Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936 - one of the greatest foot races in athletics history. It was the finest field assembled, to that time, and included Americans Glenn Cunningham, Gene Venzke and Archie San Romani, the defending champion Luigi Beccali of Italy, New Zealand's Jack Lovelock and evergreen Canadian Phil Edwards. The book outlines the four years preceding Berlin when the world records for the mile and 1500m were broken by the runners. Full profiles of all the contenders along with the unlucky American, and 1500m world record holder, Bill Bonthron, who failed to qualify. The secret to the eventual win by Lovelock is revealed.
