Allan "Al" Dean Feuerbach (born January 14, 1948) is a former American track and field athlete. He competed in the shot put at the 1972 and 1976 Olympics and finished in fifth and fourth place, respectively. He missed the 1980 Games due to the boycott by the United States. He did however receive one of 461 Congressional Gold Medals created especially for the athletes.[1]
On May 5, 1973, he broke Randy Matson's seven-year-old world record in the shot put by throwing 21.82 meters (71' 7") at the San Jose Invitational at San Jose State College.[2] Just weeks later, competing in a different sport, olympic-style weight lifting, he finished first in the heavyweight division at the U.S. weightlifting championships. Feuerbach currently works as a freelance audio technologist.
He was a four time American champion in the shot put,[3] plus he added three indoor championships[4] and won the British AAA Championships title in the shot put event at the 1974 AAA Championships.[5][6][7]
In 2016, he was elected into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame.[8]
He later became a sound engineer, working with CNBC.[9]
