An icon. Outstanding sportsman and genuine lovely person. I am 73 and in my 40’s was a Park member doing time trials with Bruce who had long flowing blonde hair. He lapped us all. We loved him. Such an inspiration 💥💫😍❤️

The three names from when I was in primary school that defined that time in memory for me was jonty Rhodes, Bruce and Tom Cruise! So good to see he is doing well. As a mom of athletic sons I agree with his genitics argument. ❤
