Spaghetti Western Trivia ~ Dennis Weaver Olympian?

 

Dennis Weaver shined was at track and field while studying for a degree in arts at the University of Oklahoma. He was so good that he represented the Sooners at the 1948 Olympic trials.

Sadly, despite his best efforts, he only managed to get sixth place in the decathlon. Only the athletes in the top 3 made the United States Team and traveled to London, England, to compete in the Olympic Games.

Weaver co-starred with James Garner in the 1970 Spaghetti western “A Man Called Sledge”.
