You got it andyjgt. Happy birthday today to Werner Gunthor. Werner won the shot put at the second, third, and fourth world championships and yes, he was the bronze in Seoul.

By the way, today is also Brian Oldfield's birthday. I think he might be about 64 today. Remember when he went 75 feet in El Paso as a professinal?
