I was in a karate class that practiced outside during the summer, right near the shot put area. At the same time that we would practice, so would Brian Oldfield, a world class shot-putter; and at the time (I believe) national champion. We got to know him pretty good, a nice guy. I think the strongest memory I have of this was him doing a juggling routine with three (and then four) 16 pound shot puts. Picking them up in one hand is bad enough and he was handling them as others do to tennis balls. -Jim ....!amd!fortune!wall
