No takers??? This lady is a retired Olympic athlete with a stack of gold silver and bronze in the Olympic and Commonwealth games. I have a lot of respect for her she really battled at the end with injury but in 2019 she retired to have a family.
Sally Pearson was born in Sydney and moved to Birdsville, Queensland when she was eight years old, before eventually settling on the Gold Coast. It was there, while she was still in primary school, that her athletic talents were noticed by Sharon Hannan, who coached her until 2013.[4] Pearson rose to prominence in 2001, when at the age of only 14, she won the Australian Youth 100 m and 90 m hurdles titles.[5] After injury setbacks during 2002 she made her international debut at the 2003 World Youth Championships in Sherbrooke, Canada and won gold in the 100 m hurdles. The following month, still only 16 years old, she represented Australia at open level at the 2003 World Championships in Paris, France as part of the 4 × 100 m relay team. In 2004, she won a bronze in the 100 m at the World Junior Championships, and just missed out on a medal in the 100 m hurdles.[6]
At the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Pearson tripped over a hurdle and fell to the ground during the 100 m hurdles final, costing her the chance of a medal. In 2007, she continued to pursue both the 100 m and the 100 m hurdles, making the semi-final of each event at the World Championships in Osaka, Japan. However, in the lead up to the 2008 Olympic Games, she shifted her focus solely to the 100 m hurdles. This decision paid off, with Pearson claiming the silver medal in a dramatic final, where the favourite Lolo Jones stumbled and a photo finish was required to decide the minor medals. After the announcement of the official results a jubilant Pearson celebrated enthusiastically with bronze medal winner Priscilla Lopes-Schliep, and gave an emotional trackside interview.
Pearson was in good form during the 2009 European season, winning five out of seven races and breaking the Australian and Oceanian record in the 100 m hurdles at the Herculis meeting in July, with a time of 12.50 seconds; 0.03 faster than the area record she had set on the same track a year earlier.[7] However, she was hampered by back spasms in the lead up to the World Championships in Berlin, and was only able to finish fifth in the 100 m hurdles final.

That's the one Chris. According to the 'Net, she is married to Vladimir Putin, and they have a son together .
A recent issue of Italys La Repubblica newspaper said that Russias outgoing President Vladimir Putin was going to marry a girl who is 30 years younger. Furthermore, the newspaper wrote that Putin secretly divorced his wife, Lyudmila Putin, in February of the current year. With reference to rumours, La Repubblica wrote that Putin was going to remarry on June 15, Whit Sunday, 2013.

I eventually found him and I only twigged the "19" clue when I found him. In desperation I did a search of what you said "this guy wrote songs and his group sung them. Pretty sure he started when he was 19. " and there was an article about the song actually about the real soldier that the song was about. John Schumann

Glad you found him Sandy. I never would have. Possibly the reference to "19" is from the song written about the Vietnam War, which has the line " I was only 19."
I was in that age group we had to first register and then wait to see if our marble came out. Mum was working in the post office at the time. (She was in the army with Dad WW2 and in London during the blitz) One of the mail sorters called out "here's another one" and said my name Mum grabbed it out of his hand and opened it up. She could have got the sack for that but she was worried for me. I wasn't worried, like most we didn't really know what it was all about and was mostly interested in the weekend and going surfing. Anyway my marble didn't come up and I often wonder what Mum would have done if it had because she was really worried.

Yes that's him Sandy, "only 19" an actual factual song that touches the heart every time you hear it.
He has written/co-written hundreds of songs in the same factual manner.
