Medal record |
John Francis Treloar AM (19 January 1928 – 23 July 2012) was a track and field athlete, who is considered to have been one of Australia's greatest male sprinters. He was ranked as one of the world's fastest men between 1947 and 1952. A triple gold medallist at the 1950 British Empire Games, Treloar made the 100 m final at the 1952 Summer Olympics finishing sixth – just 0.1 s behind the winner – in the closest finish in Olympic history.[2]
In his career, Treloar won a total of six Australian championships at 100 or 220 yards.[3]
Treloar died on 23 July 2012. His son notified the Australian Olympic Committee of his father's death on 23 July; in this notification he stated that "Dad passed away exactly as he ran. Quickly."[4]
Awards and other honours
In 2000, Treloar was awarded the Australian Sports Medal for "(o)utstanding service as an Olympic athlete and since then as an administrator and event organiser."[5]
Treloar was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in 2001.[6]
In 2011, his old school, North Sydney Boys High School named their recently refurbished gymnasium in his honour.[7]
Following Treloar's death, Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Minister for Sport Kate Lundy issued a joint press release which stated that Treloar "will always be remembered as a remarkable trailblazer for athletics in this country".[8]
Treloar's funeral was later held at his old school, North Sydney Boys High School by request of his family.
