Description
Half a century ago, Filbert Bayi revolutionized how the middle-distance races were run. During that heyday of athletics competition, before pacers were hired to take the lead, the unheralded Tanzanian served as his own rabbit. The innovative Bayi set a blistering pace that dared formidable challengers from around the globe to "catch me if you can."
After a singular career that included two world records and Olympic and Commonwealth Games medals, Bayi took the same assertive approach into post-racing life as an educator and sports administrator. He still embodies excellence in a school and foundation that bear his name as he strives to improve his country and community.
In telling his long-awaited story, Bayi recounts hardships as well as enduring friendships with great rivals like John Walker. Over nearly 70 years, his experiences consistently reflect the three values he treasures most -- sacrifice, commitment, and confidence -- setting an unforgettable example for anyone, anywhere, to follow. --Publisher provided
