Frank John Grose (16 November 1909 – 11 August 1952) was a former New Zealand road and track cyclist, who died at the early age of 42. He won the Round-the-Gorges race nine times, and was a champion over almost every distance from half a mile to 100 miles. In 1928 while in a training race with three other cyclists, they all crashed and Grose was seriously injured, breaking his pelvic bone and chipping his hip bone. While he overcame medical advice that his cycling career was ended, he was out of consideration for the 1928 Olympics. In the 1934 British Empire Games he competed in the 10 mile scratch race, I km time trial and 1000 yard championship; coming fourth in each event. In the 1938 British Empire Games he competed in the road race, and was captain of the cycling team. == References == 〔 *(Profile at the New Zealand Olympic Committee website ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frank Grose」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
