Maurice's Story

1902 – 1978

 

At Paris 1924, Moss Christie was eliminated in the preliminary rounds of the 100, 400 and 1500 metres freestyle. In the 4 x 200 metres relay, he joined with Frank Beaurepaire, Ernest Henry and Andrew ‘Boy’ Charlton’ to claim the silver medal behind the Johnny Weissmuller-led Americans. Ivan Stedman, who collected a silver medal in the relay at Antwerp 1920, swam in the heat and semi-final of the event but was replaced by Charlton for the final.
