This seems a lot more terrifying than any dentist’s chair…
Retired Olympic athlete Bryan Clay, who claimed decathlon gold at Beijing 2008, has been spending his retirement trying his hand at some amateur dentistry.
Clay’s daughter, Ellie, had a loose tooth that needed to be pulled. But rather than use the hackneyed technique of tying it to a door-knob – like regular non-Olympians – Clay thought of another method that played to his strengths.
He removed his daughter’s tooth by tying it to a javelin and flinging it as if he was competing in an event. Inventive, we have to admit…
