David Charles "Dave" Ottley (born 5 August 1955 in West Thurrock, Essex) is a retired British athlete who mainly competed in the men's javelin throw event.

Athletics career

Ottley competed for Great Britain at the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles, United States where he won the silver medal in the men's javelin throw event.

Ottley represented England, at the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada[1] and also represented England, at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.[2] He represented England for a third time at the Commonwealth Games and won a gold medal in the javelin event, at the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland.[3][4]

He won the AAA National Championship title in the javelin on six occasions.[5]

Personal life

Ottley is referenced In "The Boy Who Cried Rat" episode of Good Morning Miss Bliss, in which Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins) proclaims that nobody remembers second place, referencing the javelin throw of 1984 Summer Olympics. Miss Bliss however correctly identifies that the silver medallist was indeed Ottley.

Ottley now resides in Shropshire, having moved home from Essex to Telford,[6] and has two children.
