Elizabeth Davenport

Athlete

Born: 1st October 1938

Bangalore was host to a National Athletics meet in July 1962. My mother, who was then in school, had made it a point to visit the stadium to see the athletes in action. Silver medalist in javelin throw at the 1958 Tokyo Asian Games, Elizabeth Davenport was one of the star attractions.
