14,000 competitors... | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
..from over 200 nations. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:12 | |
An audience of billions... | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
and the never-ending quest for faster, higher, stronger. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
For the first time in a lifetime it's coming to these shores, | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
so this week, Songs Of Praise gets ready | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
for the greatest show on Earth. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
With the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
just around the corner, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
we celebrate with great hymns from the Olympic borough of Greenwich. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
We'll catch up with some of Team GB's elite athletes | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
and we've inspirational readings from star of Chariots Of Fire, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
Nigel Havers. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who watched the Olympic Games | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
as a kid on television and dreamed of one day being an Olympic champion. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
The sad news is, my own sporting career peaked at the age of 12 | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
and very little has been written about it. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
But as a presenter, I've had the privilege of covering | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
some of the biggest sporting events in the world. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
And they don't come much bigger than the Olympic Games. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
For both sets of Games, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:22 | |
London has been split into six Olympic boroughs. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
We're in one of them, Greenwich, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
and you might recognise the grand buildings | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
of the Old Royal Naval College. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
It's a place with surprising sporting pedigree. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
Henry VIII jousted here and built tennis courts and a bowling alley, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
and recent excavation work has unearthed some fascinating finds. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
Old sporting equipment from the period | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
when this site was a Royal Hospital For Seamen, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
where the disabled veterans played a series of fiercely competitive games in the grounds. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:52 | |
And soon, people from all over the world will be coming here | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
to see the 2012 equestrian events just across the road. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
The chapel behind me is already a popular tourist attraction. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
Many come here for a peek and a wander, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
but it's also a thriving place of worship, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
and the setting for all our hymns on Songs Of Praise this week. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
We'll kick off with Love Divine, All Loves Excelling. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
This is the Lee Valley specialist training facility in London. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
It's a second home to many Team GB athletes, | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
including sprinter Anyika Onuora. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
-ANNOUNCER: -'And Onoura's going to take this.' | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
We met up with her during her final preparations | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
for the most important races of her life. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
It's pressure but it's a good pressure. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
You have uncertainty and doubt and that's OK. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
That's never a bad thing. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
I'm sure someone who does the average nine to five has an off day, | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
but it's how you pick yourself up, | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
remembering God never took you this far to fail you. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
It's my gift given from him, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
so my gift back is to make sure I become one of the best in the world. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:35 | |
We know you've got a strong Christian faith. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
I just wondered how you square that. When you're on the track, | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
how does that sit with that ultra-competitive edge | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
that you've clearly got? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
You want to melt the person next to you! | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
I want to melt them, take them out, do whatever I can to destroy them. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
I have that edge, that competitive edge, | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
but also the faith that helps me. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
He's just there to help you along the way, | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
and to hopefully watch you achieve what is that you're trying to do. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
Marilyn Okoro is also based at Lee Valley. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
She's an 800 metre specialist, | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
but has a shot at Olympic glory in the women's 4x400 relay team. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
I'm so excited to have an Olympics in, essentially, my home town. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:27 | |
I can quite easily be at the centre | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
from nine in the morning till six in the evening. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
It's a massive sacrifice for me. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
I don't get to spend a lot of time with my loved ones | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
and people I really want to spend time with. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
But I really felt I was called to do what I'm doing on tracks. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:44 | |
You said you called to do what you're doing. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
How important is your faith in God | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
to who you are now and who you are when you're on the track? | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
My faith is massive. God is at the centre of it all. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
I really believe if not for him I wouldn't be doing this. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
Where he's brought me from to this is just amazing, | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
and I just feel like I am a testament of his grace over my life. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
Do you pray to win or do you pray to compete well? | 0:08:08 | 0:08:13 | |
I used to pray to win all the time. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:14 | |
"Lord, please let me win. Amen, thanks." | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
Erm... Yeah, but it doesn't work like that. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
-ANNOUNCER: -'Marilyn Okoro, she's really going to have to work hard.' | 0:08:19 | 0:08:24 | |
There's been so many up and downs, | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
and challenges and I've wanted to walk away so many times, | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
and that's when my faith really became massive. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
It was like, "Are you going to believe who Christ says you are, | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
"or are you just going to let this take over?" | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
I would love to win a medal, | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
but if all I do in this team is just let one other person find Christ, | 0:08:42 | 0:08:48 | |
I'm happy with that as well. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
Filmmakers have tried for decades to immortalise sporting heroes, | 0:11:33 | 0:11:38 | |
often with mixed results. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:39 | |
After all, there's nothing quite like live sport. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
But for me, there's one film that stands out above all others, | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
an Oscar-winning masterpiece | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
charting the story of a rather special Scotsman. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
The music wasn't bad either. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
Be honest, at some stage we've all been inspired | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
to try a little slow motion running. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
MUSIC: Theme from "Chariots Of Fire" | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
Chariots Of Fire charts the progress of two British sprinters | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
preparing for the 1924 Olympic Games, | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
A strong Christian, Eric refused to run in the 100 metres, | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
his favoured event, as the heats were run on a Sunday. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
Instead, he ran in the 400 metres and won gold. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
The Eric Liddell story has inspired many over the years, | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
but for me, it's not so much what he achieved on the track, | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
but the Christian life he lived off it. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
He spent much of his later life as a missionary in China, | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
but it was here at Eltham College where he was educated, | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
just a stone's throw from Greenwich. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
We are quite literally looking for Eric. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
So where is he, fellas? | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
Here he is. He was captain of the cricket in 1919. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
Skipper in the middle, obviously. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
Yeah. He's... | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
-There with his brother. -OK. This is his eldest brother. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
I think the great thing about Eric Liddell | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
is that you hear about his story from day one. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
When I joined in Year Three, everyone would sit in the pews at the front | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
and look at the stained-glass window. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
I think, obviously, it's incredible that you can firstly be an Olympian, | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
but the fact that you can sacrifice potential success, | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
obviously he didn't run on the Sunday, he didn't run the 110 yards, | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
he was willing to sacrifice his success | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
just to prove how strong his faith was. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
And to say, "Look, I'm not running, that's the way I'm going to do it. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
"I'll run the 400 if I have to." | 0:13:24 | 0:13:25 | |
I think that also shows the selfless nature of Eric Liddell. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
And in his later life, he went out to China to do missionary work, | 0:13:29 | 0:13:34 | |
which is a very selfless thing to do. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
He's leaving everything he knows behind, to a foreign country. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
And it shows how selfless he is. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
His brother was a brilliant athlete, as well. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
I remember looking at the records | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
and he was only 16, his brother was 18. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
And they held every record for every event. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:55 | |
First and second, first and second. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
It's just amazing that they have stood for such a long time, as well. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
I've been reliably informed you're a bit of a speedster, | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
so how close to the 110 yards do you get? | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
I'm nowhere near the standard of Eric Liddell. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
You've got a bit of work to do? | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
I've still got a lot of work to do, actually. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
Character-wise, as well. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
If you come to school at Eltham College, which has its heritage | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
and you're educated in the context of Eric Liddell and his values, | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
it's not the sort of thing you forget. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
Eric Liddell was just a fantastic man. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
You've been taught to live your life the way Eric Liddell lived his. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
Model ours around his. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
He wouldn't approve of us saying that | 0:14:35 | 0:14:36 | |
because he would want us to say we should live our life like Christ. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
But if we could get close to Eric Liddell, | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
that would be great as well. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:42 | |
Have you not known? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
Have you not heard? | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
The everlasting God, the Lord, | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
the creator of the ends of the earth, | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
neither faints nor is weary. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
His understanding is unsearchable. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
He gives power to the weak. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
And to those who have no might, | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
he increases strength. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
Even the youths shall faint and be weary. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
And the young men shall utterly fall. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:23 | |
They shall mount up with wings like eagles. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
They shall run and not be weary. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
They shall walk and not faint. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
The winner of Year Seven 100 metres and 200 metres... | 0:17:48 | 0:17:53 | |
Eric Liddell's spirit lives on in Eltham College, | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
not least at the annual sports day, where he first showed his running talents. | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
But this year, they welcomed a very special guest. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
Patricia Liddell Russell is the eldest daughter of Eric Liddell, | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
and she made a rare visit to the UK from her home in Canada | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
to present the sports day prizes | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
and share her memories with Songs of Praise. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
The last time I saw him, I was actually six-years-old. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
And people say, how can you remember anything from six? | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
But I remember that summer in Scotland | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
as, er...one of the most wonderful summers that we've ever had. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:32 | |
And he... SHE CHUCKLES | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
He was lots of fun. He was lots of fun. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
He had a winning personality. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
People just loved him. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
And his faith sort of shone out of him. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |
He loved to run. He loved to run. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
And I think it expressed his joy of life. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
MUSIC: Theme from "Chariots of Fire" | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
The film touches on the Olympics and the struggle, | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
the difference between the two runners. The dynamics. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
But his real life began after the Olympics. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:13 | |
And the important part. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
As my mother said, he very seldom spoke about the Olympics. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
It was great fun. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
But there were other things that had to be done | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
that were more important. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:26 | |
At the height of his fame, Eric left for China | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
to follow in his family's footsteps as a missionary. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
Two decades later, the Second World War made China a dangerous place | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
and Eric sent his wife and his young family to the safety of Canada. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:42 | |
But he stayed behind. He continued to serve others, | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
even when interned in a Japanese prison camp, | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
before falling ill just months before the end of the war. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
I think he thought he'd had a nervous breakdown and this, | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
this was distressing to him | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
because he thought his faith should be strong enough to carry him through. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
And, of course, he had an extraordinary, extraordinary faith. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
But he had a brain tumour growing. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
And at the end, and they had a hospital there, | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
and he asked the band, I think it was a Salvation Army band, | 0:20:12 | 0:20:17 | |
to play his favourite hymn. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
And they played outside the window. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
Be Still My Soul, to the tune of Finlandia. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:27 | |
This hymn has always been very special to us as a family. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:33 | |
Somehow, it just brings us closer to him. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
MUSIC: "Be Still My Soul" | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
I wish I'd known him more. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
I knew him through my mother and as a small child. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
But one of my sons said the other day, | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
"Gosh, Mum, I wish I'd known him. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
"You know? I wish I had known him." | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
And I said, "Don't we all." | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
Yeah. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:04 | |
A bronze medallist at the Paralympic World Cup, | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
Anne Wafula Strike made history in 2004 | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
when she became the first wheelchair racer from East Africa | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
to compete at the Paralympic Games. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
Having moved to the UK with her English husband, | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
she now hopes to represent Team GB at London 2012. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
But when she was growing up in Kenya | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
and learning to live with a disability from childhood polio, | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
she didn't even know the Games existed. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
It's been a long journey, but, um... | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
I mean, what I can say, it's been a blessing. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
It was very difficult growing up with a disability. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
Both for myself and my family. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
There was a lot of stigma attached to a disability in Africa | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
and so many people thought I'd been bewitched. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
They thought it was witchcraft. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
And some people thought it was a punishment from God. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
You know, when I was growing up, I used to be very angry at God. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:43 | |
But I look back and I say that | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
God wanted me to go through that. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
I knew that I could still serve God. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
I could still tell the world that God loves us the way we are. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:58 | |
Where did you start becoming interested? | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
Where did you start to realise you had real talent for athletics? | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
The year the Commonwealth Games were being held in Manchester. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
-2002? -In 2002, yeah. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
And I remember sitting in my front room going through the channels | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
and I saw these amazing women in their racing chairs. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:18 | |
And I was, like, this is what I want to do. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
"I could do that." | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
I said, I want to do that and I want to be competitive | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
and I want to beat some of them. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
In 2004, I qualified to go to Athens. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:31 | |
That was my first Paralympics. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
It was amazing. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
I mean, the atmosphere was just electrifying. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
I know that I'm not just defined by the medals, | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
I'm not defined by how many world records I've broken. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
To me, every day is an achievement. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
Just for me to get on the start line, | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
push and get to the finish line. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
It's an achievement. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |

Therefore we also, | 0:28:54 | 0:28:56 | |
since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
let us lay aside every weight, | 0:28:59 | 0:29:01 | |
and the sin which so easily ensnares us, | 0:29:01 | 0:29:05 | |
and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, | 0:29:05 | 0:29:08 | |
looking unto Jesus, | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
the author and finisher of our faith. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:13 | |
Who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, | 0:29:13 | 0:29:17 | |
despising the shame, | 0:29:17 | 0:29:19 | |
and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:24 | |
You might be one of those | 0:29:27 | 0:29:28 | |
who thinks the Olympic Games are just that, games. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:31 | |
But there are times when sport can inspire like nothing else. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:35 | |
And who knows how many of those magical moments we'll see in that very stadium | 0:29:35 | 0:29:38 | |
and the other Olympic venues over the coming weeks. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:41 | |
I'll let you in on a secret, | 0:29:41 | 0:29:43 | |
I'm quite excited. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:44 | |
Thanks for watching and goodbye. | 0:29:44 | 0:29:46 | |
Next week, it's the final Olympic countdown. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:33 | |
Aled will be taking a look around some of the Olympic venues | 0:33:33 | 0:33:37 | |
before the crowds arrive and talking to rower Debbie Flood | 0:33:37 | 0:33:40 | |
about going for gold this summer. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:42 | |
All that, with the usual offering of fantastic music. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:45 | |
