Dvorak Jun 2017 4:08pm, 24 Jun 2017 13,796 posts	0 Dvorak Spoke briefly at parkrun with the woman who was sixth in the hammer at the last Commonwealth Games (she hadn't run, but her coach, who was up from Gloucester, had). (It came about as I spotted a tourist (it was the Gloucester AC vest that gave it away) and said hello.)
Dvorak Jun 2017 4:19pm, 24 Jun 2017 13,797 posts	0 Dvorak And on Googling her coach from the parkrun results ... said coach is Lorraine Shaw, British women's hammer record holder. Commonwealth medals: bronze Melbourne 2006, Silver Kuala Lumpur 1998, GOLD Manchester 2002

I was surprised he wasn't in first class as he was pretty well known as a politician. No minders either. As for parkrun part of the reason I like touring these is becaise of how friendly people are and will come up and chat like Dvorak did.
