BiographyStephanus ("Fanie") Johannes du Plessis was born on 23 February 1930 in Lichtenburg, South Africa. As an athlete he specialised in the throwing events and had international success in two disciplines, the discus and the shot put. Before South Africa was banned from the Olympics and the Commonwealth Games, Plessis represented his country in both arena. He did not achieve podium finishes in the Olympics and it is said that when once asked by his manager why he hadn't done as well as his best he replied "I was bewitched".[2] In the final two Commonwealth Games that South Africa competed in before their ban, Fanie du Plessis dominated the men's discus-throw. In 1954 so dominant was he that he surpassed the Games' record with every one of his throws until he finally won with a distance of 51,70m[3] At the 1954 Games he also won bronze in the Shot Put.[1] In 1958 he again won gold in the discus. His best throw was 56.32m in 1959.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 [https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/du/fanie-du-plessis-1.html Biography sports-reference] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120420055125/http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/du/fanie-du-plessis-1.html |date=20 April 2012 }} {{Footer Commonwealth Champions Discus Men}}{{Footer British NC Discus Men}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Plessis, Fanie du}}{{SouthAfrica-athletics-bio-stub}}2. ^Rudolf W.
