Edinburgh 1986
Introduced by "^ W9WDesmondLynam
Were DALEY THOMPSON to have won the Commonwealth Decathlon title for the third time today, it would be quite understandable; were he to get a third Olympic title in Seoul in 1988, that would be quite remarkable. But the first ten things first. The Decathlon story, in any event, will be a major from
Meadowbank today. There'll be COE and CRAM and MCKEAN in the Men's 800m, CHRISTIE and JOHNSON, COOK and OTTEY-PAGE over 200m, hurdles at 400m and the Women's 10,000m, eight more medals in the pool, two up (diving) and one under (the Synchro Duet), the final of the 4,000m individual pursuit - that's Cycling - Weight-lifting for the under 100s - kg of course, results from the ranges and the Rowing, bags of Bowling and the best of the Boxing.
