The 1981 Academy Award-winning film 'Chariots of Fire' was based on the stories of Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell, two British Olympic competitors who beat the odds to become gold medallists at the 1924 Paris Games. Liddell won the 400 metres event while Abrahams won the 100 metre sprint. The theme music was composed by Greek Olympic enthusiast Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou (Vangelis) and is considered by many to be the best sports soundtrack of all time.
