My name is Robert De Castella and I represent ‘Nature’s gifts’ because I
won the gold medal for the marathon at the 1982 and 1986 Commonwealth Games. I also came
first in the Rotterdam Marathon and at the world athletics championships at Helsinki in
1983, and I was the first person ever to complete a fourth successive Olympic marathon
race when I competed at Barcelona in 1992.
