The year is 1924.

Paris is buzzing with excitement. Just over three thousand athletes have arrived for the 7th Olympiad. These games would be remembered as a success, both for the athletes who participated, as well as for overall interest of the Olympic Games. One athlete in particular would make a lasting impact. Eric Liddell was a driven man and determined to win a gold medal, but his convictions—to not race on a Sunday—excluded him from his event, the 100M. Instead, he chose to participate in the 400M and went on to win the event. Following the 1924 Games, he spent his last twenty years living his faith and serving in China. Now, one hundred years later, the games have returned to Paris. The city is brimming with anticipation for what they will hold. Who will win? Who will make a difference? Who will be remembered?
