But later on Eric heard that some of the Olympic events were being held on a Sunday.

Eric exclaimed, ‘I won’t run on the Lord’s day! I am going to keep God’s day holy.’

The British team did not want to lose Eric from the Olympic Games. There was only one thing for it. He would have to run in a completely different race – one he hadn’t trained for. The 400 metres was a lot longer and harder than the 100 metre sprint he had been preparing for. Would Eric be ready in time?
