Sprinting (January 2017)
Denise Boyd (Robertson) was one of the greatest sprinters throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Denise represented Australia at the 1976 Montreal Games and was the Australian team's joint flag-bearer at the 1980 Moscow Games.
Denise had a huge Commonwealth Games career which saw her compete in three editions. In Christchurch (1974), she won a bronze in the 100m, silver in the 200m and a gold in the 4x100m relay. In Edmonton (1978), Denise won bronze in the 100m, silver in the 4x400m and a gold in the 200m. In her final Commonwealth Games appearance in Brisbane (1982) she won a silver medal in the 4x400m.
