About
Eric Henry Liddell was born in Tianjin, China. He was a Scottish athlete, rugby union international player, and missionary. After refusing to run in the heats on a Sunday, for his favoured distance, men's 100 metres, Liddell could still compete in the men's 400 metres at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, which he won. He returned to China in 1925 to serve as a missionary teacher. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Edinburgh University.
