Bob Dixon (athlete)

Robert Samuel "Bob" Dixon (1907–11 January 1941) was a Canadian track and field athlete who competed in the javelin throw.

In a comparatively weak field, he won the gold medal at the 1934 British Empire Games ahead of the local opposition in London, throwing 60.02 m (196 ft 10 ³⁄₄ in) to beat South Africa's Harry Hart (who was winner of the shot put and discus that year).

At national level, he won one javelin title at the Canadian Track and Field Championships, topping the podium in 1934.

He died during World War II, having served in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was later inducted into the Richmond Sports Wall of Fame.
