ELLIOTT was a sensation – he burst onto the elite running scene in 1957 and proceeded to dominate…Commonwealth Gold in both the Mile and 880 yards came first in 1958, swiftly followed by multiple World Records and 1500m Gold at the 1960 Rome Olympics!🔥

Thereafter, ELLIOTT enrolled at Cambridge University and ended his incredible athletics career aged just 22!!! A successful business career followed [especially with Puma, for whom he became their CEO of North America]…⭐
