Athletics coach
|
James Michael Curran (January 7, 1880 – February 7, 1963) was an athletics coach, best known for training five Olympic gold medallists. From 1900-1902 he fought with the Highland Light Infantry in the Second Boer War, serving much of that time under Major General Sir Hector MacDonald. When based at Port Elizabeth after hostilities had ended, he discovered the sprinter Wyndham Halswelle. After the war Curran trained Halswelle, who went on to compete in the 1906 Intercalated Games in Athens, and at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, winning silver and bronze medals at the former, and a controversial gold at the latter.
