DID YOU KNOW?

Hey Team Dupont!
As the Olympics continue we thought we would bring you a bit of Olympic history that you may not know.
Who is this man pictured. Well, that is Les Mills himself!!!

Leslie ("Les") Roy Mills is a retired New Zealand athlete, who represented New Zealand at Olympic Games and Commonwealth Games over two decades. He competed in shot put, discus and weightlifting events. At the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games he achieved his best result, a gold medal in discus.


After retiring from active competition, Mills became a gym owner in 1968 and a businessman. He was Mayor of Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, from 1990 to 1998. He gives his name to Les Mills International, a company founded by his son Phillip Mills.
