first black Olympic decathlon winner
Gainesville, Ga: Milt Campbell, who became the first African-American to win the Olympic decathlon in 1956 and went on to play pro football and become a motivational speaker,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Down Jackets[/b][/url], has died, his family said. He was 78.
Linda Rusch,[url=http://merrellfootwearsizechart.webmium.com/][b]sell discount 2013 merrell footwear size chart online store[/b][/url], Campbell's partner of 13 years, said Campbelk died Friday at his home in Gainesville,[url=http://woolrichswedense.gengfl.com/][b]woolrich arctic parka sweden outlet woolrich online shop sweden göteborg[/b][/url], about 55 miles northwest of Atlanta. She said he had been fighting prostate cancer for a decade.
"He was extremely disciplined," Rusch told The Associated Press on Saturday. "He had huge passion. For you to win the gold you have to be so self-motivated and so self-disciplined. And you have to have a very strong mind."
"He literally had to train himself to have this incredible mind, to be such a positive thinker,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Down Jackets For Men[/b][/url]," she added. The Americans swept the decathlon that year. Four years later, Campbell won gold at the Olympic Games in Melbourne,[url=http://duveticaoutlet.albirank.net/][b]http://duveticaoutlet.albirank.net/[/b][/url], Australia.
"World record holder Rafer Johnson was hampered by injury,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutlets.webmium.com/][b]2013 Giuseppe Zanotti shoes outlet sale Giuseppe Zanotti Sneakers[/b][/url], but even in full health he probably couldn't have beaten Milt Campbell in Melbourne,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Down Jackets For Men Store[/b][/url]," according to The Complete Book of the Summer Olympics by David Wallechinsky.
Campbell had hoped to qualify for the Olympic team as a hurdler,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Jackets UK Outlet[/b][/url], but he finished fourth during tryouts.
"I was stunned," Campbell said in the book. "But then God seemed to reach into my heart and tell me he didn't want me to compete in the hurdles, but in the decathlon."
The 6-foot-3, 217-pound Campbell, who attended Indiana University,[url=http://woolrichdeutschland.gengfl.com/][b]http://woolrichdeutschland.gengfl.com/[/b][/url], was drafted in 1957 by the Cleveland Browns, where he played one season in the same backfield as Jim Brown. Campbell then played for various teams in the Canadian Football League until his football career in 1964.
Campbell was inducted into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1999 and was honored this year by the International Swimming Hall of Fame,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutlets.webmium.com/][b]Giuseppe Zanotti shoes outlet sale[/b][/url]. "He needed to beat his brother."
Rusch said Campbell became a motivational speaker,[url=http://rogervivieroutlets.webmium.com/][b]http://rogervivieroutlets.webmium.com/[/b][/url], and maintained a positive outlook despite the loss of a son to cancer and as he himself fought the disease. In addition to Rusch, he is survived by three grown children.
"Someone would say,[url=http://woolrichjacket.webmium.com/][b]http://woolrichjacket.webmium.com/[/b][/url], 'How are you feeling?' He'd say,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Jackets UK Outlet Duvetica Down Jackets For Men Store[/b][/url], 'Great,'" Rusch said. "He was such a fighter. And with this cancer,[url=http://duveticamen.blogspot.com/][b]duvetica men[/b][/url], he tried to fight it until the end. For his wife. For his family. And for his friends."
Rusch said Campbell was a whirlwind of activity - playing tennis as well as riding bikes,[url=http://woolrichjacket.webmium.com/][b]discount 2013 Woolrich Woolrich Jackets Woolrich® The Original Outdoor[/b][/url], horses and motorcycles - until cancer treatment began slowing him down. She said the past year was a special one, with him being honored by the New Jersey and the International Swimming halls as well as being invited to attend the Olympic trials in Oregon.相关的主题文章:
