	Campbell attempted to make the 1952 Olympic Team as a hurdler, but when he didn't make it, he turned to the decathlon. A few months later, he won a silver medal (behind Bob Mathias) at the Olympic Games in Helsinki in only his second attempt at the event. Four years later in Melbourne, he set a new Olympic record on his way to defeating world record holder Rafer Johnson for the Olympic gold medal. Later in his career, Campbell returned to the hurdles, breaking indoor and outdoor world records.

Richard "Dick" Fosbury
Fosbury won a gold medal in the high jump at the 1968 Olympic Games. That he did it was important, but the way he did it may have been more important. The "Fosbury Flop," a technique in which Fosbury turned his back to the bar before jumping over it, has been used by just about every high jumper since Fosbury. The "Flop" helped Fosbury break Olympic and American records in Mexico City with a jump of 7′4 1/4″.
