The Complete Set

[DoubleRBar]

Happy birthday today (Friday) to an Olympic champion who also won Olympic silver and Olympic bronze in the same event.

This champion competed in four Olympic Games and won the gold medal at the third of those four Games.

Our birthday athlete was born 80 years ago today.

Only 39 years old at the last of these four Olympic competitions, our birthday person placed ninth.

Do you recognize this Olympic gold medal winner?

If so, please name our birthday athlete for this first Friday in 2017.

Right the first time, KDFINE. Very good. Yes, today is 80 years since the birth of Ludvik Danek. Danek won the 1972 Munich Olympic discus throw. He died in November of 1998 at the age of 61.
