One street that is often used by cyclists and pedestrians in Prague has been renamed as Nicholas Winton street. He was no Olympic athlete but had accomplished something else of Olympian proportions. During 1939, he had helped hundreds of Jewish children flee from Nazi persecution and gain safe entrance into Britain.

During 1939, he had helped hundreds of Jewish children flee from Nazi persecution and gain safe entrance into Britain.
