    190 Athletes A-Z Trivia Questions, Answers, and Fun Facts

    Answer: He'd never run a competitive marathon

    Emil felt uneasy about marathons, fearing what it might do to his body (he famously said at the start of 1956 marathon at the Melbourne Olympics "Men, today we die a little"). In the warm up to the Helsinki race he went forward to introduce himself to the British champion Jim Peters who was the then world record holder and pre race favourite for the gold medal.

    The second asks them about their likes, dislikes, attitudes, goals and expectations. The answers to this questionnaire often makes fascinating and sometimes surprising reading. Most of all I gain a valuable insight into who the person is and how I should approach coaching them.

    Here are the questions:

    1. What are your main motivations for doing athletics? (Why do you do athletics?)
    2. What do you most enjoy about athletics?
    3. What have been your major highlights/achieveme
