Cissy Davies

At 15-years-old, Cissy Davies was one of the youngest members of the Great Britain team at the 1948 London Olympics. She later became Welsh champion and placed highly enough in the British Championships to be picked to compete at a second Olympic Games in Helsinki in 1952. Her best individual result was 52nd on the balance beam. She then married David Sanders, who was later a rugby player for the Swansea and Llanelli clubs, and retired from the sport. The pair emigrated to New Zealand in the 1960s and spent half a century there before she returned to Wales after the death of her husband. Her grandson, Dafydd Sanders, is a New Zealand national taekwondo champion and has competed at the World Championships.
