GOLD FOR COZ IN OZ

by Bob Cozens

I arrived in Sydney two days before competition and didn't get off to a good start. I had a a touch of vertigo caused by an ear infection. On my first day I went to Olympic Park to register which was easy. It was when, on the same day, I went to the track to jog and get my legs in shape after the long flight when I became dizzy and fell over. The dizziness stayed with me all that day and for a few days after. My first event was the 800m. I never had a chance and ran lousy. The 400m was next. I got through the heats , but didn't feel 100%; however I managed a third place behind Mack Stewart and Malcom Fraser of New Zealand in the final.

Two days later I was on top of my game for the 200m. I was second fastest qualifier which gave me an ideal lane (#3) in the final - I could see all my competition. When the gun went off I had a good feeling. I got away slow, but manage to to take the field at the 100m mark and sped away with 50m to go. It was a great day.

Editors note: World Veteran Games October 18, 2009. Congratulations Bob!
