Summary At the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics an unknown Vancouver runner named Percy Williams shocked the sports world by capturing the 100- and 200-metre gold medals. Some said the feat was a fluke. It was not. He went on to set a world record in the 100 meters that would stand until the arrival of Jesse Owens. This book tells his story.
