	Dunc Gray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edgar L. "Dunc" Gray (July 17, 1906 - 30 August 1996) was a track cyclist from Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia who won Australia's first Olympic Games medal in cycling at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam: a bronze medal for the 1000m Time Trial.
		In his last years, Dunc Gray lived in Kiama and devoted energy to supporting the Olympic movement, including Melbourne's bid for the 1996 Summer Olympics and then for Sydney's successful bid for the 2000 Summer Olympics.
		The Dunc Gray velodrome at Bass Hill, in Sydney's western suburbs, built for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, was named after this iconic Australian cyclist.

	Olympic Medallist Edgar Gray - 21/05/1997 - PRIV
		Gray contested and won the sprint at the 1938 Empire Games, beating teammate, R Porter, by a wheel in an exciting finish, the time for the last 220 yards being 13.6.
		Until the time Dunc died at 91 years of age he was actively involved in preparations for the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, and I have a deep regret that he did not live to celebrate the Games.
		Dunc’s family have asked me to say that if within the precincts of the new Olympic village some kind of museum were to be established they would be proud to provide, on the basis of a permanent loan, his medals and the memorabilia he accumulated over his long sporting career.

		Edgar 'Dunc' Gray became Australia’s first Olympic cycling gold medallist when he won the 1000 metres time trial at the Los Angeles Games in 1932.
		He was selected for the team because he won the Australian one-mile championship, and allocated the time trial because another rider was preferred for the sprint.
		Gray was the only cyclist chosen in Australia’s 12-person team for Los Angeles, and was entered for both the sprint and the time trial.

		The name of the velodrome lacks the personal touch of the Dunc Gray Stadium in Sydney, the track named after the flag-bearer at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
		Dunc, a veteran by then of the march-past at the Olympics, having won a cycling bronze in 1928 and a gold in 1932, wasn't much of a Hitler fan apparently and was tempted to run the Führer through with his lance-like pole.
		It makes you think about what might have happened if Dunc Gray had been tooled up with a firearm in '36.
