- Richard_Buck abstract "Richard Thomas Buck (born 14 November 1986 in Grimsby, Lincolnshire) is a British sprinter who specialises in the 400 metres event. He is from York, and trains in Loughborough; his current club is City of York A.C, (formerly Nestle York A.C); previously he had an 18-month spell at Scarborough A.C. He has been trained by his grandfather, Geoff Barraclough, and is now coached by Nick Dakin.After competing in basketball and high jump at Lady Lumley's School, Pickering, Buck took up sprinting at the age of 15. He quickly took to the sport, and was the fastest 400 m sprinter in his age group after two years. This form brought him to the attention of the national selectors, and he was selected to compete as England's only 400 m representative at the 2004 Commonwealth Youth Games, in Bendigo, Australia, where he won a bronze medal.He came to national attention during the 2007 season, being selected to represent Great Britain at both the World Student Games and as part of the relay squad at the 2007 World Athletics Championships in Osaka.His 2008 indoor season started well, with a win at the Norwich Union international match in Glasgow the 400 m, helping to secure a win for Great Britain. He also won the 400 m event at the World Indoor trials and National Championships in Sheffield and competed in the semi-finals of the 2008 World Indoor Championships.Buck was selected to represent Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Olympics in the 4 × 400 metres relay event but a virus interrupted his training and he never competed in Beijing with the squad. However, Buck was spurred on by the disappointment and came back highly motivated. At the beginning of the 2009 season, Buck finished a close second behind Tyler Christopher at the Aviva International in Birmingham. He set a new indoor best of 46.22 s, which was the fourth-fastest European time at that point in the season. This boded well for the 2009 European Indoor Championships but he was disappointed with fifth place in the 400 m finals, finishing in 46.93 s. However, he claimed the silver medal as part of Britain's 4 x 400 metres relay team with a time of 3:07.04. Following the competition, he suffered a knee injury which ruled him out of competition for six weeks.In 2010, Buck made the semi finals of the World Indoor Championships in Doha and won a Bronze medal with the GB 4×400 m team. He was also a part of the Silver medal-winning team at the European Athletics Championships in Barcelona. An ongoing Achilles tendon injury ruled Buck out of the Commonwealth Games in Delhi.Buck had arguably his most successful year in 2011 where he took the bronze medal at the European indoor championships along with silver in the 4×400 m. Buck's outdoor season also opened well; Buck clocked a personal best time of 45.99 seconds in his first race.Buck was selected in the World Championship 4×400 m squad and travelled with the team but did not race.Buck was dropped from funding at the end of a 2011 season along with other big name athletes such as Kelly Sotherton. Seeking ways to fund his Olympic ambitions, Buck works part-time at a supermarket whilst juggling a heavy training schedule. Buck's 2012 hard work seems to be paying off after he clocked a lifetime best of 45.88 (indoors) in the national race at the Aviva Birmingham Grand Prix.Buck was part of the Olympic TeamGB 4×400 m relay at the 2012 London Olympic Games.".
