It really hurt!"&nbsp; The doctors told him there was nothing they could do.&nbsp; But, Oerter persisted.&nbsp; So, the doctors agreed to try a method where they froze the muscle, taped it, gave him ammonia capsules and then hoped for the best.</P> <P>Since each competitor gets to keep their best throw from the previous days preliminaries, Oerter could have stayed in the top eight without over extending himself.&nbsp; However, he said, "I just thought about the four years of hard work and those 1460 days. &nbsp;I did not want to cheat myself."&nbsp; Then during finals each competitor was allowed three throws.&nbsp; But because of the excruciatingentually caught the attention of BFS President Dr. Greg Shepard. The first time Dan met Greg was in 1980 at the Hill Air Force Base Powerlifting meet, where Dan was competing for the Utah State Powerlifting Team. ecalls Dan,  It was about two in the morning during the deadlift competition, and I was sitting around in the warm-up room when Greg came up to me and asked me what I was opening with. I said I was starting light at 573 pounds, just to get a mark, and I think it almost knocked Greg down. After that we kept bumping into each other at competitions, and then I started working out at the Upper Limit Gym when it opened up. That was a great place to work out because the Utah Jazz trained there, and Greg and his BFS staff made certain they took their lifting seriously. One day when I was working out Greg asked me if I wanted to work at the gym, and I accepted. That started my relationship with BFS. <br>If there s one major struggle Dan has had as an athlete, it s with his bodyweight. In college it was as high as 272, which Dan says was pretty solid because he was lifting hard. Dan was able to lean down after college; he quit training from 1981 to 1987 to concentrate on his career. When he got back into training he allowed his bodyweight to go up again, and by 1995 he accepted the fact that he was fat and had to do something about it. <br>To get lean, Dan went on a low-carb, high-protein diet. Dan s description of a good breakfast:  meat, eggs and other stuff. A bad breakfast:  not meat, eggs, and other stuff. In a few months he dropped 50 pounds.  It s funny, I got down to 206, and I found that I could throw the discus just as far as I did when I was heavier  and my injuries disappeared. <br><br>The State of the Sport<br><br>Although Dan says the US stil Adobed              k"   s!1AQa"q2B#R3b$r%C4Scs5D'6Tdt& EFVU(eufv7GWgw8HXhx)9IYiy*:JZjzm!1AQa"q2#BRbr3$4CS%cs5DT &6E'dtU7()󄔤euFVfvGWgw8HXhx9IYiy*:JZjz ?_8qj W1YZנ:R Y sc=R*ԩ}.wx=C=O9o8ir@şhUH^Ǘ\:Dm=~UZzVI$Or{PL\^~COdoDǖ%i#e s +C3sȏ'enXIy{ZJI;zs\]#څ~ӿ6*ّ : z,!d5aǛ3WsI ݖimyqB鿣tҙfhc"4ro$O!v~_'ki i0^kgFᡕ~&2CS~+x7k:K8 …Mź֩lG{T~&q{ט>}!AKK\j@;p˛iK5ַ**|~>XrQU;Bp`#_ v^!kH[+\VZزLiA#qB~.*f1 PB=SSl8y1$_j}Gkq;RLPHK6Ē> LZ,P躪۬hZQzÏ,P#$Lf?)Sؙ jWzqY1qׯ0=ƛEڨyT5HwPqp̐6z60\}t O|#:c z{"0g.8-d{J2Jͽ[]HŹqyNӅWKHJ2I7ΐ[O hT܀Q|>2cv?gr8;uQ؊y4jhR.?g <@ҙvfRcվ/4FTt {}Vq34ZqDVCV'BB[ osFF5 jV2ZdN~Ud OUq_ʗ7~XI,cRWe?f)Tf;,K/i&yD9i|*<>vՒm>qeESZc'/Vַ1q\nC8 ;qܖW^W"BfŇ!z6ZGi#4ӆLK;IVAicI,4A@]XrN?qcV"LJq Q=P-_A$R@B)aCɸ[ҼvɀAYDNW-}V I,5W`52[Zl)Hӂ=l~o-hGcMW:ۏ۔\L)<"_r3 $w{3Κu2ivE0Ʈʜ|?;Dx
