John Powell

JOHN POWELL - Considered the finest technician ever in the history of the discus events, Powell is respected for both his teaching AND throwing abilities. Four-time Olympian, seven-time National Champion, and two-time Ol ympic Medallist, no one is more effective in the ring than Powell. A former World Record Holder, at age 40, Powell won the Silver Medal at the Rome World Championships and only a few weeks later set a new personal best with the l ongest throw in the world that year - 236'6". Come and learn his "SECRETS"! 

BRIAN OLDFIELD   threw far...really, really far! He was the first man to throw 73', 74', and 75' in the Shot Put. he held the American and World records. He was a Munich Olympian and a National Champion Brian competitor in the World's Strongest Man and Superstars Competition. He graced the cover of Sports Illustrated. He's a spinner but he threw over 70' with Glide.

Soul is Greater Than the World - Starring Ricky Bruch

The Soul is Greater than the World
(Själen är större än världen)

Plot Summary “Captivating and emotional documentary that follows Swedi sh Discus champion Ricky Bruch as he prepares for the 1984 Olympics at age 38. The film highlights Bruch's obsessive behavior regarding his training and preparations. Facing difficulties with the Swedish Olympic Committee, Bruch is denied the right to com pete in the Olympic Games. Bent on revenge, he trains like an animal and competes in smaller competitions, ultimately throwing his career-best 71.26 meters (233 feet, 9 inches). Proving to himself and the world that he is the greatest, Ricky's throw would have won the 1984 Olympics by nearly 5 meters.”
Review:Inspiring, 22 February 2004
-Downers Grove, Illinois


“I had seen this film at John Powell's throwing camp in 1998 and almost had a sleepless night thinking about how the film inspired me to want to try to beat the world record in discus and, overall, think about my life. It is more than just a film ab out Ricky Bruch training for the 1984 Olympics, but instead is a very philosophical film. The middle of the film with John Powell is something I could watch over and over again. The film is a bit grainy with it's English subtitles(spoken in Swedish), but the story is intriguing and the simple but effective background music is also very enchanting. A rare but worthwhile film overall, and a well-needed one for the often ignored track athlete in the world of sports movies.”
