Summary

Description
English: A little over two weeks after Australia's Sesqui-Centenary Day, the extraordinary Decima Norman, winner of five gold medals at the 1938 Empire Games, on the winner's dais after the 220 yard sprint event. With her are Australian team mates J. Coleman and E. Wearne, who came second and third. To the embarrassment of race officials, there were insufficient flags to accommodate three placegetters from one country, and a New Zealand flag had to be substituted for third place!
