After two years at Portland State, Allen was out of school for a year, but this did not keep him from his beloved sport. The Multnomah Athletic Club be came his training ground where he prepared for the 1956 Olympic competition with the Olympic styles --Greco-Roman and free style. Since free style was simi lar to the style which he used for two years in college wrest ling. he decided to enter the Far West A.A.U. meet at Oakland, Calif.- to see if his free style ex perience would pay off.

O'Brien will always be best known as the man who broke the 60 foot “barrier” in the shot-put. 3 Brien has garnered two gold medals and one silver in Olympic com petition. He won his event, the shot-put, in the 1952 and 1956 games and came in second to Bill Nieder at Rome last year. Most shot-putters don’t like O'Brien. He has been known to use a strange technique to try and “psych out" his opponents. In this technique, Parry complet ely ignores his competitors in the shot-put. He gives them the cold shoulder. Should an opponent get off a good heave, O'Brien would just look a little bored as if he could do much better without trying. O’Brien revolutionized shdt putting when he came up with his new form, the athlete faces away from the field in a crouch, then lunges forward and spina before releasing the shot.
