The self-proclaimed "Pommie-Kiwi" competed for New Zealand at the 1956 Olympics in the 50 km walk where he won the gold medal. For this achievement he was voted New Zealand’s Sportsman of the Year. Read also took part in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, finishing fifth in the 20 km walk and abandoning the 50 km race. He won a bronze medal in the 20 mile walk at the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Kingston, Jamaica, which was his last international tournament.[1] Read continued competing domestically for another 18 years, retiring at the age 52. He won 18 national titles, placing second thrice and third four times.[3] On 29 August 1968 Read married Megan Ann Crafar in Whangarei; they had three daughters and a son. After moving to New Plymouth, he founded New Zealand’s first race walking club. At the 1992 Summer Olympics he became only the second New Zealand Olympic judge. He was awarded a diploma by the International Amateur Athletic Federation on its 75th anniversary in 1987, and in 1990 he was elected a foundation member of the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame.[3] Read died of a heart attack during a veteran's bike race in Pirongia.[1] References{{Commons category|Norman Read}}1. ^1 2 3 [https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/re/norman-read-1.html Norman Read]. sports-reference.com {{Footer Olympic Champions 50 km Walk Men}}{{Footer Australia NC 50km Walk Men}}{{Use dmy dates|date=July 2018}}{{1956 New Zealand Olympic team}}{{1960 New Zealand Olympic team}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Read, Norman}}{{NewZealand-athletics-bio-stub}}2. ^Norman Read. trackfield.brinkster.net 3. ^1 2 {{DNZB|title=Norman Richard Read|first= P.
