Description: The year is 1956. Janusz Sidło heads to the Melbourne Olympics as the undisputed gold medal favorite – a world record holder and European champion. During the final, he lends his javelin to his greatest rival, Norway’s Egil Danielsen. This moment, later etched into sports history as one of the most beautiful examples of fair play, will have unexpected consequences for both champions. It’s a story not just about one of sport’s most fascinating rivalries, but also about the power of myth.
