... that 14 months after taking up track cycling, René Heyde narrowly missed out being selected to the New Zealand team at the 1972 Summer Olympics?

Source: Contemporary reporting in The Press: "The outcome of those trials — and even though Heyde crashed — was that four “certainties” and himself were named to compete finally at Wanganui. As five were to be nominated for Munich, it seemed certain Heyde would go on that trip. But as it happened, and because Heyde had crashed, N. R. Lyster was asked at the last minute to attend the Wanganui trials. Without riding, he was given the fifth place ahead of Heyde."

Comment: There was some reporting about Heyde in today's newspaper. I looked him up and he had quite an interesting, if tragic, background.
