		Yet Hemery, a thinking man with a lucid brain, knew pure brute strength nurtured with the technical skills required for an event nicknamed the "man-killer" was a necessity if he was to gain an advantage over his faster, and in most cases, more experienced opponents.
		Hemery was always confident he could win although he also reminded himself daily that was his only intention after the subjective training he had subscribed to in the build-up to the Games.
		Hemery was relegated to bronze medal position at the Munich Games where he also completed a set of Olympic medals when winning silver in the 4x400 relay.

	GREAT OLYMPIANS: DAVID HEMERY
		Remarkably, Hemery only ever contested the 400m hurdles during four competitive seasons – in 1965, in 1966, in his world-record beating 1968 and then stayed away until 1972.
		A career in banking was put on hold in 1964, when Hemery returned to Boston to attend University, where track coach Billy Smith, along with the work of English coach Fred Housden, helped Hemery to develop a technical ability second-to-none.
		In 1972, an Olympic bronze in the 400m hurdles and a silver in the 4x400m relay, called time on a distinguished career on the track, but he continued in athletics, both in the UK and the USA as a coach and performance consultant.

		We have not had major games here since 1948, so I could see why there had been a reasonable intent to have major championships looked for; but, as David said, the first thing should be to develop the infrastructure of all sports and then move on to looking at major championships.
		You, Mr Hemery, suggested, I think, that legacy is actually the most valid way of thinking our way out of this problem.

		Moynihan, who coxed the British rowing eight to a silver medal in the Moscow Olympics in 1980, is perceived as being more dynamic than Hemery and, having only recently turned 50, is 11 years his junior.
		Hemery, though, prefers to characterise his understated approach as more diplomatic than that of his rival.
