Hi Nasci Many thanks for the info on Lavy. I had thought the spelling was Jewish. Do you have any idea roughly which year he participated in the Asian Games and where? It is possible he was in the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne when Kenya first sent a team there. I will ask Michael Pereira (in London) who was there for hockey. Did Milka Singh run in 1960 in Rome? I had planned to go there but it did not work out. When I next meet Seraphino Antao, and possibly next Sunday, as we have our Goan Sports Day in London, I will ask him if he knows anything about Lavy. I will let you know if there is more info. Thanks for his running times. Many thanks again.
