Re: ricky bruch

I have looked through the ATFS annual (earlier today btw) for the 1970 season and Bruch really "dominates" the discus list that year, but with so many competitions made locally in Sweden he was "only" ranked 2nd that year by T&FN (after Jay Silvester).

1970 season
Legal Competions over 64m
Bruch 9
Silvester 6

and if you counting performances marked "Insufficient Information as to status of meet" and "Marks not acceptable" you can add additional 16 meets over 64m by Ricky, all in Malmö.
