What famous person past or present would you like to meet and why?
Emil Zátopek…..
He is the only person to ever do the treble, he won the 5000m, 10 000m and marathon in the 1952 Olympics but his training was so different to anybody else’s, he did his own thing and it worked…..I’d like to pick his brains.
