Olympic Posse

Seven people who made the Olympics cool:

--Lasse Viren, the Flying Finn, 4 Gold medals.

--Teofilo Stevenson, Cuban heavyweight boxer, 3 Gold medals.

--Frank Shorter, US Track and Field athlete, Gold medal in 1972 Marathon. And who can forget, the imposter ...

--Kip Keino, Kenyan distance runner, 2 Gold medals.

--Daphne Jongejans, Dutch diver, 8th place at the 1988 Games in Seoul, fan favorite.

--Alberto Juantorena, Cuban runner, still the only Olympian ever to complete a 400m-800m sweep.

--Dave Wottle, US Track and Field, won Gold in the 800m at Munich...while wearing a golf cap.
