RIP Brian Oldfield 3/26/2017 1 helluva athlete and personality. He competed in the 1978 World's Strongest Man.

Awesome show when I was a kid. Waited for it every Saturday afternoon it was on. They couldn't do that now. Way too corporate now. No fans getting right up next to the action. No camraderie amongst contestants, and no joking. Real shame what we've come to.

These were fun to watch! I believe Greg Pruitt ended up running a 9.4 for the record (when they still ran in tennis shoes) a couple of years later. Oldfield used to run and win a lot of "big man" races and beating the fastest women sprinters of the era. Dolphins wide receiver, Mark Clayton nearly doubled his weight in the 'jerk' competion lifting 340 and weighing about 180. Kyle Rote Jr. (seen in this race) won the competion three times. Much better watching than any crappy "reality" show...

@goldenoldiesPete 7 жыл бұрын

I loved this show also and never missed it. But the judging in the jerk competition was sometimes awful. Carl Eller on one show would never lock out his elbows or come close to locking it, but judge Bob Cousy kept okaying the lift. That ridiculous, super-lenient judging enabled Eller to win that event on that SS Show.

@@finnfinn7703 It was a long time ago, so I looked it up. Pruitt's best time was 9.7 in the prelims of '78 (the 9.4 must have been the announcers mentioning his best achieved somewhere else.) Clayton actually did 305 (He weighed 173) losing to Roger Craig who put up 310.

I had to argue with people for years that Brian Oldfield had put the 16 lb. shot farther than anyone. Due to the way records were kept at the time, the "official" records were amateur, while pros were doing more.

Ok, my mind seems to have been playing tricks on me! Priutt actually came within 1/100 of O.J.'s then record of 9.69 running 9.7. Clayton nearly beat Roger Craig (who put up 310) doing 305 lbs. while weighing 173. The 100 record continued to inch downward with Willie Gault besting at 9.35 while Hershel Walker ran a best of 9.39. I'm not certain when they began wearing spikes, but eventually it got down to 9.02 when they started allowing actual sprinters compete in their own specialties.

Your comment is 10 years old, but here: carl lewis ran an 8.75 100y. Let's extrapolate -- Carl's best 100m was 9.86. Usain Bolt's WR is 9.58. That would put Bolt at 8.4 100y territory, or something like 35 feet ahead of Walker at the finish. There's fast, there's "incredible speed", and then there's being one of the fastest people on earth but still getting blown out with a .5 second headstart. ...

@glen4338 7 жыл бұрын

Kingman actually had a lifetime stolen base record of 85 stolen bases and was only caught stealing 49 times. Of course, stolen bases doesn't necessarily mean raw speed, and raw speed doesn't necessarily translate into stolen bases (as Herb Washington so aptly illustrated for the A's in the 1974 season, when he was signed by Charlie O. Finley as his "designated runner.")

Swann was clutch, could jump like a kangaroo and had amazing eye hand coordination. But ever heard the saying your best ability is your availibility? Swann got knocked out of games too often. It was up to Stallworth to save the day vs the Rams.

"ONE" of the best WR's. NOT better than Jerry Rice. Rice was at a level above all the great names. Fred Bilitnekoff (sp?) from the Raiders, Michael Irvin from the Cowboys, and Swann were at the next level after Rice. And back in the day there were some who thought John Stallworth was a shade better than Swann. Swann had great hands, and he was one of the best at making sideline catches because of the ballet stuff he was doing.
