Obituary

Olympic Games bronze medallist Marise Chamberlain MNZM passed away on Tuesday 5 November 2024 aged 88.

She was the only New Zealand woman to have won an Olympic medal in track athletics (Lorraine Moller won a medal in the marathon). She set world records over 440 yards, 400 metres and 1 mile and fastest time over 1500m.

At the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Perth, she won a silver medal over 880 yards, behind Australian Dixie Willis. Two years later, at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, she won the bronze medal in the 800m behind Ann Packer (gold) and Maryvonne Dupureur (silver). 

At the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Kingston, Jamaica Chamberlain stumbled just before the finish line when leading in the 880 yards final and missed out on a medal.

She won nine New Zealand 440 yards titles between 1955 and 1966, seven 880 yards titles between 1960 and 1966 and a 220 yards title in 1958.

In the 2003 Queen’s Birthday Honours, Chamberlain was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to athletics. 

Chamberlain was inducted into the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame in 1995. She lived in the Christchurch suburb of South New Brighton all her life. After Earle Wells‘s death in 2021, she was the only surviving New Zealand medallist from the 1964 Summer Olympics. 

Chamberlain Place, in the Hamilton suburb of Chartwell, is named in Chamberlain’s honour.
