He was born in Cirencester, loucestershire, but his father's work took the family to the United States, where he attended school and graduated from Boston University. Hemery's first International title came at the 1966 Commonwealth Games, where he won the 120 yd hurdles in 14.1 seconds, a title he retained four years later at the 1970 Commonwealth Games (by then it was the 110m hurdles which he won in 13.8 seconds). At the Mexico Olympics in 1968, Hemery won the 400m hurdles in 48.12 seconds, a new world record. His margin of victory was the largest since the 1924, beating second-placed Gerhard Hennige from West Germany by almost a second. Hemery's performance helped him win the 1968 BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
