The Flying Scotsman first.
That bloody well hurt.

:50:02
What, Eric Liddell?
:50:04
Well, he's no real problem.
:50:07
He's a great runner
but he needs to go further out.

:50:11
- He's no 100-metres man
- He could have fooled me!

:50:13
Yeah, he's fast.
:50:15
But he won't go any faster, not in
the dash, anyway. He's a gut runner.

:50:19
He's all heart. Digs deep.
:50:22
A short sprint is run on nerves.
:50:24
- It's tailor-made for neurotics.
- Thanks very much.

:50:27
No, I mean it. You can push guts,
bully them, but you can hone nerves.

:50:31
Paddock, Scholz and Eric Liddell.
:50:35
Come here a minute, Mr Abrahams.
:50:43
Now, do you know
why you lost the other day?

:50:45
Because you're overstriding.
:50:47
Just a couple of inches. Now...
:50:49
These coins represent the strides
in your hundred metres.

:50:57
Have you got another two coins,
Mr Abrahams?

:51:02
Well, maybe we can find them.
:51:04
As I said,
:51:06
overstriding.
:51:08
Death to the sprinter.
:51:11
Slap in the face each stride you take.
:51:13
Knocks you back.
:51:15
Like that.
:51:17
Like that...
:51:18
and that!
:51:21
Now...
:51:34
I want you to imagine
you're running on hot bricks.

:51:36
If you leave your feet too long
on the ground, they'll get burnt.

:51:40
Up, up, up. Light, light, light!
Light as a feather.
