A Very Good Friend

Bob Van Osdel and Duncan McNaughton were good friends and fellow students and high jumpers at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. At the 1932 Olympics, held in Los Angeles, Van Osdel represented the United States and McNaughton represented Canada. In the Olympic final, the battle for gold came down to a duel between the two friends. With the bar at 1.97m, Van Osdel approached McNaughton and advised him on improving his technique. "Get your kick working," he concluded, "and you will be over". That piece of advice and encouragement did the trick. McNaughton cleared the bar and won the gold medal, while Van Osdel missed and won the silver medal. In 1933, McNaughton's gold medal was stolen from his car. Van Osdel, now a dentist, made a mold from his own silver medal, poured gold into the mold, and sent the replica gold medal to McNaughton.

  很好的朋友

  美国田径运动员罗伯特-范-奥斯德尔和邓肯是好朋友,他们都是美国南加州大学的学生和跳高运动员。1932洛杉矶奥运会上,代表美国出战的范-奥斯德尔和代表加拿大比赛的邓肯在跳高决赛中相遇。当横杆升到1米97时,范-奥斯德尔走近邓肯,对他在之前比赛中出现问题提出自己的建议。邓肯在接下来的试跳中成功越过这个高度,夺取奥运跳高金牌;但范-奥斯德尔却在这个高度上失败了,只能获得银牌。1933年邓肯的奥运金牌在自己的车里被窃,此时已经是一位牙医的范-奥斯德尔用自己的银牌为模子,用黄金复制了一枚金牌,送给邓肯。
