Yang (Amis: Maysang Kalimud, Chinese: 楊傳廣; pinyin: Yáng Chuánguǎng; July 10, 1933 – January 27, 2007), was a Taiwanese Olympian decathlete.

[1] Yang attended college at UCLA, where he trained and competed with teammate and Olympian Rafer Johnson and was coached by Elvin C. Drake.

Both athletes were exhausted and drained and came to a stop a few paces past the finish line leaning against each other for support.

This claim had been contested by historian Lin Bo-wen, noting that Yang had been distracted as he was dating an Italian woman and would go out with her every day his entire duration at Rome.

[8][9] He appeared in a number of films, including Walk, Don't Run (1966),[10] as well as the 1970 western There Was a Crooked Man... as a tough inmate named Ah-Ping who did not speak.

[citation needed] Yang served in the Legislative Yuan from 1983 to 1986 as a member of the Kuomintang representing what became the Lowland Aborigine Constituency.

[13] In 2001, while serving as president of the National Sports Training Center at Kaohsiung, Yang was diagnosed with liver cancer.
