The 1936 Berlin Olympics are perhaps best known as the Nazi Games but it was at this event that New Zealand won it's first athletics gold medal.
Jack Lovelock broke the world record for 1500 metres and cemented himself as one of our greatest athletes. But he also had a successful medical career, before his untimely death.
Sports writer and author Lynn McConnell wrote about Jack in his book Conquerors of Time and is here to give us the Olympians biography.
