Frank Worthington, nice to see that name again! He came to Sweden in the early 80s and played a season or so. Malcolm MacDonald, Tequila Teddy and Peter Crouch are among other players that came here and had some fun. Those days are gone now ...
It was a German (east?), wasn't it? Or Jan Zelezny, but that seams too recently or?
Edit: It was Uwe Hohn, had to google it. He used to throw 100m + ... glad they changed the balance!
Yeah, sounds like a Backyard Ultra, a 6,7 km loop every hour on the hour. Run fast and you might get 15-20 rest on a loop. They broke the record earlier this year in the Big Dogs Ultra in Tennessee, think the winner got 108 loops (x 6,7 km). Would be great fun. You get up eat breakfast, chech...
Looking at that medals table the Netherlands is up there, as always nowadays. Don’t know what they are doing but it’s quite remarkable for a nation that size.
