This is no ice-skating
'Emil Zátopek's running style was distinctive and very much at odds with what was considered to be an efficient style at the time.
His head would often roll, face contorted with effort, while his torso swung from side to side. He often wheezed and panted audibly while running, which earned him the nickname of "the Czech Locomotive."
When asked about his tortured facial expressions, Zátopek is said to have replied that "It isn't gymnastics or ice-skating, you know."'
