ACC New Zealand
Masters Games Launched for 2008 - Dick Tayler to be Ambassador
Dunedin (19 July, 2007) – Commonwealth Games gold medallist, Dick
Tayler, is to be the official ambassador for next year’s ACC New Zealand
Masters Games in Dunedin.
Tayler, who became a national folk hero when he snatched Commonwealth
glory in the 10,000 metres in Christchurch in 1974, is excited about being
amidst the over 8,000 competitors from New Zealand, Australia and around the
world.
The athlete, turned salesperson, said he is looking forward to
returning to Dunedin after spending five years in the city during the early
days of his running career during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s.
“During that time I made some great friends, and I hope many of the
competitors will not only enjoy the Games but also have the chance to rekindle
friendships in the very hospitable southern city.
“The Masters Games gives us all some incentive to get off our backsides
and do more exercise, but also allows us to challenge ourselves to go that
little bit quicker, or further, in the event we participate in”, he said.
Confirmation as to whether Tayler will actually compete will be
finalised nearer the Games.
Around 70 sports are on offer for the 2008 Dunedin Games, ranging from
archery, athletics and basketball, to hockey, rugby, softball and yachting.
ACC continues to sponsor the Masters Games because so many of the
participants, like Dick Tayler, are in positions to promote injury prevention
messages.
The ACC New Zealand Masters Games alternate each year between Dunedin
and Wanganui, and the 2008 event, from 2-10 February, will be the nineteenth
time they have been held.
