Listen "Tuariki Delamere"
Episode Synopsis
For today's sporting history we're going back to 1974. A fleeting moment - less than 11 seconds - when track & field bumped into gymnastics.
A splash of magic happened and a boy from Papakura came inches away from revolutionising the long jump. That boy was Tuariki Delamere. And that magic... The Delamere flip.
A short lived - and quickly banned - long jump technique. It involved doing a summersault mid jump.
