For the record, Arthur didn't produce two Olympic
champions.............their Mothers did. Arthur merely coached them.

For the record, there were probably dads in there at some point too.

Actually, i believe those two olympians were found by Arthur on the
roadside, sick and starving. He took them in, fed them, educated them, and
trained them. if you want to give those careless women credit for those
olympians you go ahead...me, i'm going to honor Arthur.
