born on 27 February 1937 at Melbourne in Victoria.
My name is Ron Clarke and I represent ‘Nature’s gifts’ because I was
world junior mile champion, and in 1956 I was the torch bearer at the Melbourne Olympic
games. As well, in 1968, I held every world record from 2 miles (3.2 km) to 10 miles (16
km).
