Ex world darts champion Bob Anderson was picked for the 1968 British Olympic team for what event?

Robert Charles "Bob" Anderson (born 7 November 1947 in Winchester, Hampshire, England) is a retired professional darts player and former World Champion. He was the World No. 1 player for over three years in the late 1980s. Nicknamed The Limestone Cowboy, he lives in Clevedon in Somerset.

Anderson threw his first darts maximum (180) at the age of just seven. However, he was renowned as a champion athlete during his teenage years. He was picked as a javelin thrower in the British Olympic team of 1968, but broke his arm before the team left for Mexico, an injury which brought an end to his javelin-throwing career. He then turned his attention to football - playing to a moderately high standard for Lincoln United, Guildford City, Woking and Farnborough Town. During this time, he had continued to play darts socially and decided to take up the game more seriously when his injury jinx struck again - this time a broken leg in 1970 ended his football career.
