Our Very Special Guest Olympian Lynn Davies Strikes Gold!

At the 1966 Commonwealth Games, Welshman Lynn Davies won gold in the long jump to add to his wonderful achievement of winning gold at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Unfortunately we've been unable to secure footage of the Olympic final but here he is in action just 2 years later. The other athlete in the video is Mary Rand; she won gold for England that year too so Great Britain had two world class long jumpers in the 60s.

Lynn Davies has very kindly agreed to visit our school on Monday 18th June to talk to us about his achievements.
