Lesley Hartwell is a former South African international lawn bowler. [1]
Bowls or lawn bowls is a sport in which the objective is to roll biased balls so that they stop close to a smaller ball called a "jack" or "kitty". It is played on a bowling green which may be flat or convex or uneven. It is normally played outdoors and the outdoor surface is either natural grass, artificial turf, or cotula.
In 1998 Hartwell won the Women's singles gold medal in lawn bowling at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur. [1] [2] She defeated local hero Saedah Abdul Rahim of Malaysia 25-14 in the final after recovering from a 3-11 deficit. [3]
The lawn bowls competition at the 1998 Commonwealth Games took place at the National Lawn Bowls Centre, Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia from 11 September until 21 September 1998.
A gold medal is a medal awarded for highest achievement in a non-military field. Its name derives from the use of at least a fraction of gold in form of plating or alloying in its manufacture.
The 1998 Commonwealth Games(Malay: Sukan Komanwel 1998), officially known as the XVI Commonwealth Games(Malay: Sukan Komanwel ke-16), was a multi-sport event held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This edition is marked by several unprecedented facts in the history of the event. The 1998 games were the first held in an Asian country and the last Commonwealth Games of the 20th century. This was also the first time the games took place in a nation with a head of state other than the Head of the Commonwealth, and the first time the games were held in a country whose majority of the population did not have English as the first language. For the first time ever, the games included team sports. The other bid from the 1998 games came from Adelaide in Australia. Malaysia was the eighth nation to host the Commonwealth Games after Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, Wales, Jamaica and Scotland. Around 3638 athletes from 69 Commonwealth member nations participated at the games which featured 214 events in 15 sports with 34 of them collected medals.
She still represents the Eastern Province. [4]
