What is the aim or goal of your writing:
Contemporary Authors says "At one time considered the fastest man in the world, athlete and author Jackson Volney Scholz won a 1924 Olympic gold medal for the two-hundred-meter race. His loss in the one-hundred-meter race that same year was later recreated in "Chariots of Fire, " which won the 1981 Academy Award for best motion picture. Scholz declined to see the movie because his surname was mispronounced throughout the film."
