Hill only medallist

to win a medal at the Olympics. But some radio listeners may be confused after hearing acting Premier Quinton Edness say Hill was actually the second medallist and that his cousin, Phyllis Edness, was the first.

In fact, sprinter Phyllis Edness competed at the 1948 Games in London and was one of the favourites in the 100 metres but fell victim to stomach cramps and did not run.

Hill won the bronze medal in heavyweight boxing at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal.
