THE husband of Spreyton swimmer Wendy Sincock who represented Great Britain for the third time at the World Transplant Games in Canada recently came away with his own special award. Wendy?s husband, John, travelled with her to the games and won his own award; the Bravery of the Week award from the Canadian people. John was in a restaurant at the university where the games are being held when a man nearby started to choke. John applied the Heimlich manoeuvre which dislodged the object in the man?s throat. The Canadians were extremely grateful to John, and the team doctor, Christine Evans, gave him his award. Athletes who have all had organ transplants of various kinds from a total of 52 countries across the world took part. Great Britain topped the medal table with a total of 199 medals. They sent a team of 93 adults and ten children. Wendy said the competition was more difficult this year but she still came away from the swimming pool with medals to add to her collection. Hairdresser Wendy won a gold in the 100-metes backstroke swimming and a bronze in the 50-metres backstroke. In the 200-metres medley relay, she was part of the squad which won the bronze. Wendy is training for the British Games to be held in Loughborough at the end of August, where she hopes to win more medals for the Exeter team.
