Apparently DoubleRBar today is busy. Well, let's continue with his case.
Today is April 6th birthday 2 Olympic champions. Their total age of 146 years, but both athlete alive. Together they have competed in five Olympics.
Both athletes have won their first Olympic Games, but one of them was also a bronze twice in a row.
Both athletes representing different countries and different continents. Between their victories in '32.
Now you have everything you need, what would be called the names of the athletes.

I has been 80 years since their victories in 1932.. but total age is 146.. and both are still alive?
what am I missing?

Russian math is different.

If you guessed the first winner of the 1932 Olympics and winner's minimum age 20 years, his DOB=1912 and now his age is 100 years old.
Then the second won the 1932+32=1964 and the winner's minimum age 20 years, his DOB 1944 and age 68 years.

Clue: the total age of 146, the distance between the victories of 32.
Find the age of the athletes in the first approximation. Determine the first possible Olympics.

You gave it away (I think) with the Moose. Is it Wilbur Thompson (1948 shot gold medal)? I have a very good friend who knows the Moose and I believe Thompson is still living in Southern California.

I don't know the other athlete. He or she must have been born in the late 1950's which would put them in Moscow, Los Angeles, or Seoul.

I thought Wilbur Thompson competed in only one Olympics. If so, the other athlete must have competed in four Games. That sounds like a thrower or a distance runner.

I can't think of any throwers that fit the category. Could it be a walker? I don't follow the walks, so I wouldn't know the person.

That's right DoubleRBar, the second champion is Wilbur Marvin "Moose" Thompson. He won his only gold medal in the shot put in 1948.
A surprising fact of his sport's biography is that from 1940 to 1952 he entered nine times in World Top-25 list, but never won AAU/NCAA or FOT.
Nevertheless, congratulations to the 91 th Happy Birthday Wilbur Marvin "Moose" Thompson!
Why is his nickname "Moose" for me remains not clear. In Russia, a large body men, too, often called a "moose".
But his height and weight were modest for the shot putter. Height: 6'0" (183 cm) Weight: 196 lbs (89 kg).

The first champion is not a field athlete.
