Flo Kennedy

Precision Sports

Florence Flo Kennedy is a former Rhodesian and Zimbabwean international lawn bowler who began bowling in 1964. Her English Wikipedia article says she won two medals at the 1981 World Outdoor Bowls Championship in Toronto, a silver in the singles and a bronze in the team event for the Taylor Trophy. She also won a historic Commonwealth Games gold medal for Zimbabwe, the first time the country competed in the Games as a nation, skipping the triples team with Anna Bates and Margaret Mills. That success led to her being voted Zimbabwe Sportsperson of the Year in 1982. Earlier she took a bronze medal at the South African Games in 1973 and became a four times national singles champion.
