Olga May Jekyll QSM (née MacPherson, 8 October 1918 – 11 February 2014) was a New Zealand fencer, who represented her country at the 1950 British Empire Games.

Fencing

Born Olga May MacPherson on 8 October 1918,[1] Jekyll competed in her first fencing tournament in 1938.[2] She went on to win 18 Canterbury championships,[2] and five New Zealand national titles: in 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, and 1959.[3] At the 1950 British Empire Games in Auckland, Jekyll represented New Zealand in the individual women's foil, recording three wins to finish in fifth place.[4][5]

Jekyll retired from competitive fencing in 1972, but continued her involvement in the sport as an administrator and coach, including at Avonside Girls' High School.[2][6] She was a founding member of the United Fencing Club in Christchurch in 1956.[2][7]

Personal life

After World War II, Jekyll married Allan Joseph Jekyll, but was widowed by his death in 1948.[8] The couple did not have children, and she never remarried.[6]

Honours and recognition

In the 1982 Queen's Birthday Honours, Jekyll was awarded the Queen's Service Medal for community service.[9] She was also a life member of the New Zealand Amateur Fencing Association.[7]

Fencing Midsouth awards the Olga Jekyll Trophy annually, and organises an Olga Jekyll mixed teams event.[10][11]

Later life and death

As a result of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, Jekyll was forced to move from her home.[7] She died in Christchurch on 11 February 2014.[12]

Quasi-biennial oscillation

Tropical wind alternation The quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) is a quasiperiodic oscillation of the equatorial zonal wind between easterlies and westerlies in the tropical stratosphere with a mean period of 28 to 29 months. The alternating wind regimes develop at the top of the lower stratosphere and propagate downwards at about 1 km (0.6 mi) per month until they are dissipated at the tropopause. Downward motion of the easterlies is usually more irregular than that of the westerlie...
