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 excruciating pain, Oerter decided to make the 2nd throw his last.&nbsp; "So," tells Oerter, "on that second throw I gave it everything I had."&nbsp; He threw an Olympic record!</P> <P>When asked about the struggles experienced in training for the Olympics, Oerter replied, "Barriers in life happen all the time.&nbsp; You have got to step it up.&nbsp; If you back down, you never learn anything about life or yourself."&nbsp; Later in his career Oerter did have Olympic coaches who would really push him but he always knew it was to make him better.</P> <P>Al Oerter was also a great success in the business world. Ironically, he worked with computers and advanced technology. Currently, Al Oerter is living in Colorado.&nbsp; And he is still a lean, but powerful 260 pound man.&nbsp; Although he is retired, he stays quite busy as a motivational speaker for a variety of corporations and as a husband, father, and grandfather.</P> <P>We thank Al for the opportunity to tell his story......................... </P>hot and 70-plus in the Weight Throw. Nik has the philosophy that success comes through hard work and setting goals.  Do whatever you can to attain those goals, advises Nik.<br> Knowledge i power, so they say, and Nik knows how and why to train.  Everything in throwing comes from the legs. That is why the Power Clean, Snatch and Squas are so important. <br>In the Discus Ring, Nik tries to relax and get his positions right.  You can t get too much in your head, but mentally you have got to be focused. It s eveloped athletes who are self relint and have such a wonderful attitude. We wish them well on their quest to win their third consecutive national title.</P>S!fR"p ;ChlX3,ځ3pԒyfbsHS:on˺YFS1c9iڔϦkd_Q"ªU}dIz%muQ:o%͢*!WD1 *hdȆQ)@Ҝ9. pH~6Q"d쩤kV01I14RoO3V;tq=nx]-ROVcԮy<,"x@;#_f HW7(Dv~ +ҷy/†%u_+*ngZv5y@"Gmir螼'aU@2B݈-8Az݉Γoihmvs#0UOY̭JYP1QVߍzN<k$bY*'tG8i5aSQ7fxtX7GK=%KefTlyX7~o9nL}*aI8GҮt/zK,!K5_ p2m{;P+F;u?ph9G!M?hc'K5[F#X*K-NJ !J@iz?8$O2h/q,nN5?JS*[.1Cc&i :԰oN [4`d&OH jQ h_ZB+-{ati($nkye?|*|;P`l"5"# #͕j?Z7L`|<^eN Q_E)]e-mhJVExF"&Daٖ F@ZU6OI$P\j$x*1;\$B|c=~Wd%ʁ9ѯ8`GTt!sm<{ /U$f1mZqKe;w1NN+yybe/-u;d5+UoV#D8ë0uΫ4pKD72pdb ~^״[:{k GQY <3;3>J>NhO]hQavidߊg8󶫩e%ffW\'Zwv ޓ$oy-l|<Ƞbǃ{k"P(d,{6!~YI++^O,`КݝCK"VHq G# xjj  FJguѦksa gPT ,hۛxϖ̾XT(*ƣn#!jFOKDRFSz{dW727M'40n_`,.^ 3HŠʌY]O8XcP)Ȕ#M I אFax)[)IA_FC.ڽprH$Di=vگf`6\\\cy;i*%D!@U\$-s)_
