David Jenkins - 1972

British sprinter David Jenkins (born 25 May 1952) photographed for the Sunday Times in August 1972, shortly before the 1972 Munich Olympics.

Born in Scotland in 1952, Jenkins became a European record holder for the 400m sprint before he was 17.

The article titled 'A Match For Anyone' states, 'One man is utterly confident of David Jenkins's chances of a gold medal in the 400 meters. That man is David Jenkins.' Sadly, he only got a silver medal.

However, His personal best in the 400m became the British Record from 1971 to 1985.
