Was Abrahams married? Did he have children? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaedglass (talkcontribs) 02:16, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

It is mentioned (in the end credits to Chariots of Fire) that Harold Abrahams did marry Sybil. His daughter is shown in the article accompanying this article. 83.198.121.93 (talk) 14:41, 18 May 2008 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.198.121.93 (talk) 14:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Opening paragraph

I have removed the term "Jewish" from the opening paragraph, which formerly read "Jewish British". This conforms with Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies):

Nationality (In the normal case this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen or national, or was a citizen when the person became notable. Ethnicity should generally not be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability.)

His Jewishness is mentioned throughout the article - indeed, in the line following the opening paragraph.--Kitty Davis 07:39, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
