JOCK ATHLETIC PAYS TRIBUTE TO MURRAY ROSE, AN
AUSTRALIAN SWIMMING LEGEND.
Sadly last month Australia lost a true “great” with the passing of Olympic champion swimmer Murray Rose.
I never saw him race, but my father always said of Murray Rose that he was a great athlete and dominated
his sport. With four gold medals from 2 Olympics, Melbourne in 1956 and Rome in 1960, Rose took home 6
Olympic medals overall (4 gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze) and was a world record in the 400m, 800m and 1500m
events. Rose’s contribution to sport continued long after he retired through his involvement with the Rainbow
Club charity, which teaches disabled children how to swim.
It wasn’t just what he achieved, but the way he did it, and I have never heard a bad word uttered about him.
Dawn Fraser I think summed up the man perfectly in her eulogy at his funeral. “To me personally, I have lost a
true friend and a great team-mate... The master of cool. The only guy to go through life and not cause a ripple,
but certainly make enormous waves.”
Murray Rose was a pioneer in his sport who inspired many future Australian swimming champions, lived the
Olympic ideals and by all accounts was a great bloke. Rest in peace.

EDITOR’S LETTER
Awesome pic: Competitors in the Gold
Coast Marathon wind their way through the
GC streets. This year, Dual International Mat
Rogers is taking it on - all for a great cause.
Read his story, P70.
Looking back, I irst got drawn into playing
and working in sport because I love to be
inspired. Great Olympic feats; the courage
and skill in Rugby League and Union;
inspirational bowling spells and courageous
batting under ire in cricket, all made the
hair on the back of my neck stand. Nothing
has changed!
I received a message from one of our
favourite contributors Eloise Wellings
recently apologising for not getting her
article in because she was too busy chasing
Olympic qualifying times and training in
the US. Then I learned she was running
up snow covered mountains in freezing
temperatures at altitude for training. Try it,
it’s bloody hard!
That’s just the type of inspiring effort that
we love at Jock Athletic. Keep the great
work up El, you deserve everything you get!
Welcome to another great month in sport
and sports conditioning!
