Biography

Mardle represented Great Britain at the 1988 Summer Olympics where he finished in 20th place in the discus event.

He was twice a representative of England at the Commonwealth Games in 1986 and 1990. He represented England finishing fourth, at the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland.[2][3] Four years later he represented England finishing fifth, at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand.[4][5][6]

Domestically, he won seven national titles including three AAA Championships titles (1987, 1988, 1989) and six UK Athletics Championships.[7][8][9] By virtue of being the highest placed British athlete at the 1985 AAA Championships, he was also considered the British discus throw champion that year.[10]
