Wasn't he a speed skater??

I actually was a summer olympian...track and field...the decathlon to be specific. (but I like the winter games better)

I hit the qualifying mark for the '84 games but broke my ankle early in the season and never got to the trials.

I stated I was at the '84 games- a dozen of my were on the field competing on the decathlon!!

Rulon Gardner was the wrestler.. Here is his site. I was on the edge of my seat watching him.

That is an interesting story. Sorry to hear about the broken ankle tho. That must have been a bitter pill. To put that much effort into something and then miss it~bummer.

At least you got to leave your mark on Olympic history in other ways. That is neat. :]
