Sport: Duel at 19 Ft.
(2 of 2)
Isaksson compensates for his lack of heft by weight lifting. Sometimes he overcompensates. In 1969 he compressed two vertebrae in his spine while lifting 220 Ibs. That is why his regimen calls for Turkish massage after two-hour daily workouts. The injury also explains why he recently canceled a trip to the U.S. for an Olympic warmup match with Seagren. Off the track, Isaksson has garnered something of a reputation as a swinger, but denies having a regular girl friend. Says he: "If a guy is really in love, it's easy for him to begin to cut down on the training for the girl's sake. You think you can run 15 minutes less a day so she won't have to wait. And that isn't good."
In other words, Munich and Seagren come first.
