He studied physics at UMIST, also playing clarinet and representing the University in athletics.[2] Sporting careerHe joined Bolton Harriers running club[1] and achieved early success in the high jump, winning the senior Lancashire event while still a junior. He also became successful as a runner and hurdler; in 1957 he was a member of the silver medal-winning British team in the 4x400m relay at the World Student Games[4] and the following year he competed at the Cardiff Commonwealth Games in the 440m hurdles. He held the English record for this title between 1958 and 1964, also being selected to compete in the 400m hurdles at the 1960 Rome Olympics.[2] He ran 52.75 in the third heat, finishing fourth, which turned out to be insufficient to qualify him for the semifinals.[5] Post-Olympics and legacyGoudge and his wife Elizabeth had two children, Caroline and Jonathan. The rest of his life was spent teaching physics until his retirement in 1995, when he moved to Devon. He is commemorated in Bolton as part of the "Spirit of Sport" statue on De Havilland Way.[2] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/go/chris-goudge-1.html |title=Chris Goudge Biography and Olympic Results |publisher=www.sports-reference.com |accessdate=2010-12-06 }} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Goudge, Chris}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2010/nov/24/chris-goudge-obituary |title=Chris Goudge obituary | work= The Guardian |accessdate=2010-12-06 |location=London |date=2010-11-24}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.boltonschool.org/about-us/former-pupils/old-boys%27-association/distinguished-old-boys |title=Distinguished Old Boys – Former Pupils |publisher=Bolton School |accessdate=2010-12-06 }} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.gbrathletics.com/bm/wsg.htm |title=British Medallists in World Student Games (Universiade) |publisher=www.gbrathletics.com |accessdate=2010-12-06 }} 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1960/ATH/mens-400-metres-hurdles.html |title=Athletics at the 1960 Roma Summer Games: Men's 400 metres Hurdles |publisher=www.sports-reference.com |accessdate=2010-12-06 }} 9 : 1935 births|2010 deaths|People educated at Bolton School|British male hurdlers|Olympic athletes of Great Britain|Athletes (track and field) at the 1960 Summer Olympics|Commonwealth Games competitors for England|Athletes (track and field) at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games|Alumni of the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology |
