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 hardwork and those 1460 days. &nbsp;I did not want to cheat myself."&nbsp; Then during wo more world championships before the 1996 Olympic trials came around.

I knew exactly what I wanted and was counting the days to Atlanta. <br><br>He sailed through the trials. In Atlanta, he sailed through the decathlon, holding on to a steady point margin throughout each of the ten events. Dan became the first American to win the decathlon since Bruce Jenner in 1976. His only disappointmentwas that he did not break his own world record. That is a goal he is still working on.<br><br>Historic Parallels<br><br>For those who follow the sport of decathlon, the parallels between Dan s life and that of the first gold medal decathlete, Jim Thorpe, cannot be ignored. Both were born of mixed ratimes. This year the best performance was by Thomas Wright, followed by Justin Ritter and Andre Mears. <br>Although Smyrna had no state championship teams this year, Lloyd says he is expecting great things from the athletes who will be on the BFS program throughout their entire high school terms. Indeed, the Smyrna Eagles have already transformed themselves intostate-caliber competitors ready to soar high. notie a difference. Sometimes we tell the guys about their mistakes. It makes me feel coo that I now know what to look for.&nbsp;</P> <P>We thank Coach Brad Smith who has developed athletes who are self reliant and have such a wonderful attitude.
