quadruple discus champion
an olympic legend, american discus thrower al oerter was the first track and field athlete to win four successive olympic titles, a feat since equalled only by carl lewis in the long jump. oerter took the gold medal in the discus in 1956, 1960, 1964 and 1968, setting a new olympic record on each occasion, although he was never the favourite to win the event. his third victory in 1964 was remarkable for the fact that he overcame the handicap of neck and rib injuries, but still managed to set a career best.
he also won the pan-american title in 1959 and set four world records, the first of which in 1962 gave him the distinction of being the first man to record a legal throw of over 200 feet (60.96 metres).
oerter retired after the 1968 olympics but returned to full-time competition in 1977 with the goal of making the 1980 olympics and winning a fifth gold medal. he finished 5th at the tac championships in 1979 and 6th in 1980. his comeback was derailed by the 1980 olympic boycott by the united states, but oerter did post the longest throw in the world in 1980.

美国田径运动员阿尔弗雷特•厄特于1936年9月19日出生于美国的阿斯托尼亚。受父亲的影响,他从小就喜爱体育运动。厄特是奥运田径历史的传奇,他是第一位连续四次夺取田径比赛冠军的运动员,奥运历史上,只有卡尔-刘易斯的四枚跳远金牌能与之相比。尽管他每次都不是金牌的热门选手,但厄特在1956年、 1960年 1964年和1968年四次都以打破奥运会纪录的成绩夺取奥运会铁饼金牌。尤其是1964年奥运会的金牌,更具有特别的意义,因为这是他克服了当时的颈部骨折和肋骨的伤痛才得来的一枚金牌。此外,他同时还获得1959年泛美运动会的金牌并且四次打破世界纪录。1962年,他成为第一位突破200英尺的铁饼运动员。1968年,32岁的厄特以64.78米的成绩第四次夺得奥运会铁饼冠军,成为现代奥运史上第一为4次连获田径金牌的选手。1968年奥运会后,厄特宣布退役,但是在1977年,他又重新回到田径赛场,希望能参加1980年奥运会,并夺取自己的第五枚奥运金牌。但是因为美国的抵制,让他失去了这个创造历史的机会。后来国际奥委会也授予他铜制奥林匹克勋章。
