Goa has produced other champions, most notably Kenya's famous "Gazelle",
Seraphino Antao. In 1962, the Mombasa-born Goan dominated the Commonwealth
Games at Perth, winning a "golden double" of 100 and 200 metres short
sprints.
Along with Kipchoge (Kip) Keino, Antao laid the foundations for a
magnificent
Kenyan running tradition.
Folks,
With The Commonwealth Games currently on you may be interested in watching a
videoclip of Seraphino Antao winning gold at the Commonwealth Games:
6 Dec 1962. Perth, Australia. Commonwealth Games. Commentator: "They say
that Antao of Kenya is one of the greatest sprinters of all time." For the
Pathe Newsreel videoclip, in colour, go the link below and select VIEW
