“QUEEN OF THE POOL.”—Shane Gould, the 15-year-old Australian “wonder girl” of swimming, ploughs through the pool on a four-mile training session. Miss Gould is preparing for the Munich Olympic Games, where she will be Australia’s brightest gold medal prospect. She is also preparing for an attempt on the world 800 and 1500 metres freestyle records which she narrowly missed earlier this year. Miss Gould already holds the 200 and 400 metre records and is co-holder, with Dawn Fraser, of the 100 metre record.
