It is, perhaps, singular that the, who are wondering why Dove could only return 81 4-5sec, in the Olym- pic 100 metres in August, and show 54sec. for: 160 yards a few weeks later. The reason is that he had to swim a hard 200 metres trial at Berlin the day before he competed In the 100 metres, while he did not even enter the water for four days before he defeated Fischer
standing performer of the year. This assessment may not meet with instant approval, but when the Leeds girl's achievements through- out the year are examined there is no alternative but to award her irst place, writes & Home corres- pondent.
Prior to making her record last February, she was unknown ont- side of local circles, and, more re- markable still, had no previous experience of competitive, breast- stroke swimming. She set up a British 200 yards record of 2min 46 1-5aec.. figures which are only 1 3-10sec. outside Martha Genen- ger's world's standard. She fol- lowed this with a brilliant success
Great Britain was represented by a strong swimming team, so far as numbers were concerned, at Ber- lin. but the results were dig. appointing. The best we Muld do was to take sixth place in dive events the Men's 150 metres tree style. the Women's 200 metres breast-stroke and 100 metres bank- stroke, and the Men's and Women's relays. This is the lowest scors made by Great Britain at any mo- dern Olymplad.
