On his way to the Olympics in Rome in 1959 at the age of19, Harry Jerome was Canada's most promising track-and-field athlete. There was every reason to believe that his racing days were over by 1962, when he suffered a horrific leg injury. In addition to being a champion on the racetrack, Jerome also had a strong work ethic off of it. His famed coach Bill Bowerman dubbed it "the greatest comeback in track and field history," and so his journey began. For decades, Harry Jerome put his head down and kept running, exhibiting an incredible level of strength of character and willpower that was just as astonishing as his record-setting athleticism.
