Question: Who was the other decathletes that Dan & Dave was meant to generate excitement and support for other than the decathlete native of Montana?

Context paragraphs:
Dan &amp; Dave: Dan & Dave was an advertising and merchandising campaign by American shoe manufacturer Reebok during the build-up to the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.  The promotion was meant to generate excitement and support for the Olympic competition between American decathletes Dan O'Brien and Dave Johnson.  However, the campaign had to be modified when O'Brien failed to qualify for the Olympics.

Focal character: In any narrative, the focal character is the character on whom the audience is meant to place the majority of their interest and attention.  They are almost always also the protagonist of the story; however, in cases where the "focal character" and "protagonist" are separate, the focal character's emotions and ambitions are not meant to be empathized with by the audience to as high an extent as the protagonist (this is the main difference between the two character terms).  The focal character is mostly created to simply be the "excitement" of the story, though not necessarily the main character about whom the audience is emotionally concerned.  The focal character is, more than anyone else, "the person on whom the spotlight focuses; the center of attention; the man whose reactions dominate the screen."

Dave Edstrom: David ("Dave") Allan Edstrom (born September 10, 1938 in Portland, Oregon) is a former decathlete from the United States.  He won the gold medal in the men's decathlon event at the 1959 Pan American Games in Chicago.  He represented his native country at the 1960 Summer Olympics.  He competed for Sherwood High School (Oregon), the University of Oregon, the Emerald Empire TC, the Oregon TC, and the US Air Force.

Evansville Agogans: The Evansville Agogans were a professional basketball team who played in Evansville, Indiana from 1950 to 1951 and were a member of the Western Division of the National Professional Basketball League.  Games were typically played at the old Evansville Central High School gym, now home to the downtown Evansville YMCA.  The Agogans were formerly known as the Denver Refiners and moved to Evansville, Indiana due to the Denver franchise having difficulty in financing the team's long trips to all its eastern and midwestern counterparts.  Bill Butterfield, an office supply store manager in Evansville, bought the franchise midway through the season and moved it to Indiana.  Butterfield named the new team the Agogans, which meant "those with intense interest and excitement."

Seed money: Seed money, sometimes known as seed funding or seed capital, is a form of securities offering in which an investor invests capital in exchange for an equity stake in the company.  The term "seed" suggests that this is a very early investment, meant to support the business until it can generate cash of its own (see cash flow), or until it is ready for further investments.  Seed money options include friends and family funding, angel funding, and crowdfunding.

Sequential minimal optimization: Sequential minimal optimization (SMO) is an algorithm for solving the quadratic programming (QP) problem that arises during the training of support vector machines.  It was invented by John Platt in 1998 at Microsoft Research.  SMO is widely used for training support vector machines and is implemented by the popular LIBSVM tool.  The publication of the SMO algorithm in 1998 has generated a lot of excitement in the SVM community, as previously available methods for SVM training were much more complex and required expensive third-party QP solvers.

Dave Johnson (decathlete): David Allen "Dave" Johnson (born April 7, 1963) is a former Olympic decathlete from the United States.  A native of Montana, he grew up in Missoula and Corvallis, Oregon.  He was part of Reebok's "Dan & Dave" advertising campaign, with fellow decathalete Dan O'Brien, leading up to the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, where he won a bronze medal in the decathlon.  After retiring from competitive athletics he became a school teacher and administrator, and served as athletic director of Corban University in Salem, Oregon starting in 2009.  On November 14, 2012, Johnson resigned from the position to pursue a position with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.  Johnson accepted a position as Director with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Oregon in June 2013.  He now coaches all field events at South Salem High School.

Knowledge economy: The knowledge economy is the use of knowledge (savoir, savoir-faire, savoir-être) to generate tangible and intangible values.  Technology and, in particular, knowledge technology help to incorporate part of human knowledge into machines.  This knowledge can be used by decision support systems in various fields to generate economic value.  Knowledge economy is also possible without technology.

LGBT culture in Mexico: In Mexican culture, it is now relatively common to include gay characters on Mexican sitcoms and soap operas ("telenovelas") and to discuss homosexuality in talk shows.  But representations of male homosexuals vary widely.  They often include stereotypical versions of male effeminacy meant to provide comic relief as well as representations meant to increase social awareness and to generate greater acceptance of homosexuality.  However, efforts to represent lesbians remain almost non-existent, which might be related to the more general invisibility of lesbian subcultures in Mexico.

Bernard Castang: Bernard Castang, born April 9th, 1944, is a French athlete.  Commonly thought as one of the most talented decathletes that represented France during the 1960s.  He also played rugby.  French National Outdoor Championships winner in 1966 with 7514 points in the decathlon and 1967 with 7580 points.  Bronze winner in the decathlon with 7444 points at the 1967 Summer Universiade in Tokyo, Japan.  Top 20 decathlete at the 1966 European Championships in Budapest, Hungary with 6709 points.
