When Zatopek went back to the Olympic Village after winning his third gold medal in the Helsinki Games and later heard that his wife had won the gold medal in the javelin, his oneness was such that he said: "This gold one pleases me more than all the others so far." Such love and encouragement he gave to his wife!
