It's stupid that his records didn't count cuz he was a paid athlete. A record is a record

What a great video...track needs more fun performers like Oldfield these days

I went to John Powell's throwing camp a while back. Brian was there. The years have not been kind too him. But he made up for it by getting drunk, driving his car drunk around campus, driving me drunk around campus and just generally being one of the funniest motherfuckers I have ever met.

@4inches4u its a steel measuring tape they are more accurate and don't stretch with use. They are used predominately when someone may have broken a record.

The reach!! virtually never letting the shot go! His hand is like 1,5 meter out of the circle before he lets it go! That is beautiful!

@Milligan618 What is a steel tape?

Brian did not ask for a steel tape. he fucking Demanded that shit

Thanks for the response! Kinda stupid not to count it, but I guess its understandable.
I threw against Oldfield and smoked a cigarette with him between throws. He was skinny and hadn't started weights yet but he was obviously gonna be a world beater. He had the magic even at 56 '...I like guys like him but he ain't Englebert Humperdink. Englebert never offered me a cigarette ese.
