CZECH LOCOMOTIVE HAS DIED :
Emil Zatopek, a four-time Olympic track champion who set 18 world records, has died. He was 78.
Zatopek died Tuesday night in Prague's military hospital where he was being treated after a stroke in late October, a hospital spokesman said Wednesday.
The long-distance runner was the first to run a 10,000-meter race under 29 minutes. Zatopek enjoyed a cult status in his Czech homeland for over five decades.
Following a 15-year career, he was ostracized by the communist regime for criticizing the Soviet-led military invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968.
He won his first Olympic gold at the 1948 London Games, and added three more in Helsinki four years later, where he dominated the 5-kilometer, 10km and marathon races.
Milan Jirasek, head of the Czech Olympic Committee, was not surprised by Zatopek's death.
"We knew that he was in critical condition for some time already," Jirasek told The Associated Press. "But with his death, the legend does not disappear. Everywhere in the world, even young generations know him and his achievements."
The 5km race at Helsinki, which Zatopek won with a strong finish, is regarded as one of the most thrilling races ever.
"I wanted to win every time I was on the track," Zatopek told his biographers. "At Helsinki, I was tired after the 10K race, but I still shattered all my rivals."
Zatopek was born on Sept. 19, 1922, in the town of Koprivnice in the industrial northeast part of the country. He ran his first official race - 5,000 meters - in 1943 and immediately became Czechoslovakia's best long-distance runner.
After the end of World War II in 1945, Zatopek regularly faced the world's top athletes and, within a year, clocked the world's best times in 5,000 and 10,000 meters, his showcase events.
Zatopek was also known for his unorthodox training methods, which have become popular during the last five decades.
Instead of practicing long distances, Zatopek preferred dozens of 400-meter stretches run at full speed so he could improve his explosiveness and stamina.
Nicknamed "The Engine" after winning an unprecedented 38 10,000-meter races between 1948-54, Zatopek ended his career in the 1950s but fell out of grace with the communist regime.
As an outspoken advocate of the so-called "Prague Spring," a process leading toward democratization of communist Czechoslovakia, Zatopek was dismissed from his senior position in the military shortly after the invasion and sent to a uranium mine where he was forced to work for six years.
Despite disappearing from the limelight, Zatopek remained a renowned public figure. In 1975, Zatopek became the first Czech athlete to be awarded the U.N.'s Pierre de Coubertin Prize for promoting fair play.
Zatopek is survived by his wife, Dana Ingrova, a former Olympic javelin champion.
