Summary
NoS Summary - Various shots of women racing at an athletics meeting.
British Pathe synopsis: "Unkind critics have declared that Eve today is far too fast - but this isn’t the kind of "fast" they mean - " High angle shot of the start of a running race at an athletics track. It is a women’s sprinting race and one woman soars ahead to win. "A gentleman near the back thinks they’re too fast for him, so just to oblige, our ultra-rapid camera will take a hand." Start of the race is seen in slow motion. We see the end of the race from another angle. "To show how fast Eve really is...watch this relay race - " High angle shot of a relay race, camera follows the competitors.
