Here's another one.

 

[looker-on]

Daley Thompson? Watched several events with him.

 

[Signman]

Spot on mate - great all-round athlete... was a superb effort by Thompson to win the Decathlon at the 1980 and 1984 Games.

German?

 

[Signman]

Not sure either... American ?

 

[looker-on]

No, Ukrainian. Interesting that you don't recognise him on the spot.

 

[Richie]

Not I. What sport?

 

[looker-on]

Boxing.

 

[Signman]

Heavyweight class ?

 

[looker-on]

Yes. Thought if I said that, it would be even more easy.

 

[Signman]

Not sure about the spelling on these foreign names... think his name was Kitsishko ?

 

[looker-on]

Klitschko it is. Wladimir, the younger of the two brothers and the more successful one. He was world champion in four boxing organizations at the same time. I wonder why you didn't recognise him immediately. Did anyone watch them box?

 

[Richie]

Vaguely recall that name. never been a big boxing fan.

Ok who is this.

 

[Signman]

Pretty sure it's Greg Louganus ?

Remember Wladimir, not the brother - it's very confusing having 4 organizations in the heavyweight division, tends to water it down too, just have one organization ? .... the bloke proved how good he was by holding all 4 organization titles at the same time though.

 

[Richie]

Pretty sure it's Greg Louganus ?

That is he Mal.

 

[Signman]

Will post one later this evening Richie.

 

[Signman]

Who is this bloke.

 

[looker-on]

His tooth gap rings a bell. Isn't that the famous US 400 m sprinter Edwin Moses...?
