Earlier, Katz established the Olympic record, 9:43.8, in his first heat of the steeplechase.
Katz ran the second leg on his Finnish club’s 4 X 1,500 Relay team that set two World records—the first, 16:26.2, in July 1926 and the second later that year, lowering the mark to 16:11.4.
Katz emigrated to Palestine in 1933 and was selected to coach the Israeli Olympic Track Team for the 1948 Games in London.
The ludic metaphor, as Katz terms it, is familiar from accounts of white-collar financial fraud, where offenders refer to their monetary gains as being unimportant except as a means of keeping score.
Katz's phenomenological analysis is portable across a wide range of deviant behaviours, across gender, social class and race.
Katz moves the debate on from the material and physical to discuss how an individual can rise to a challenge to his moral existence.
