Geoff Capes, the British shot put record holder and two-time world's strongest man, has died aged 75.
Capes set the record for the longest shot put by a British man with a distance of 21.68m in 1980.
In a statement, Capes' family said: "The family of Geoffrey Capes would like to announce his sad passing today, 23rd October.
"Britain's finest shot putter and twice world's strongest man."
Capes had an illustrious career, twice winning gold in the shot at both the Commonwealth Games and the European Indoor Championships.
He was a three-time Olympian and came closest to winning a medal with a fifth-place finish at the 1980 Games in Moscow.
Capes, who was born in Lincolnshire, was also a six-time champion at the World Highland Games.



RIP big man

In the 80s when Britain had few genuinely world class athletes, Geoff and a few others were rare exceptions.

Reading through that bio I didn’t realise the extent and variety of his various achievements.
Corinthians 15:57; But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus

Rip Terry Griffith former world snooker champ 1979 and triple crown winner.
Not the fastest player but was very much valued as a coach after retirement from playing.
