Damn, I was hoping that might last a bit longer! And it's actually even more topical, as his medal was won in London in 1948.
I'm going to guess that it's the architect of Trellick Tower, Erno Goldfinger....and continuing in the Goldfinger theme, where did Ian Fleming get the name "Goldfinger" from for his baddie?
From the mcc signing in book. Wasn't there a mr blowfeld who was a cricket commentator.

That's the boy. Fleming hated the brutalist (in his opinon) of the tower and had his revenge by naming one of his baddies after the architect.I'm going to guess that it's the architect of Trellick Tower, Erno Goldfinger.
Continuing with the the Olympics..
In Seoul 1988 an Olympic record was reduced by several metres.
What was the event?
Was that in the javelin? I recall something about changing the specification to make it harder to throw because there was a danger that the crowd might be hit.
John F Kennedy?
Theodore Roosevelt?
