Sedykh together with Sergey Litvinov we’re the two greatest hammer throwers to ever grace this sport. The only two throwers to ever surpassed the 86m mark. Thank you for the memories. RIP both.
I was a 2 time All-American in Hammer and |I had the great honor of watching Sedykh throw at some practices back in the day. As a hammer thrower, I was in awe of him and his flawless technique. I always wished I could rise to a level that was close to his, but it was not to be. He was and always will be, my idol in the hammer world.
What a great competition. Sedykh was just showing off on that last throw, almost matching his world record from, like, 20 minutes earlier. Incredible technique, getting that power off of three spins instead of four.
Maybe never. Due to the Soviet sports juggernaut, he was basically a professional hammer thrower, and could devote all his time to it. Even a lot of world class throwers today need a regular day job.
he has the farthest throw in history and a nice guy too. I remember being introduced to him by my Dad, Harold Connolly, the greatest hammer thrower who ever lived! Have a nice day. Mark Connolly
Thank You John Coleman. I'm half Irish and glad to hear I count! Mom was from Czechoslovakia and Dad from Boston, Massachusetts. They met (and incidentally both struck Gold) at the Melbourne Olympics in 1956.
@@TheDrewpdog The hammer throw is not about being the strongest; you need enough strength to control the speed and propel the hammer, yes, but the majority of it is technique. And Sedykh had flawless technique.
Incredible series of throws. And serious stupidity on those photographers- if his hammer had broken (which does occur) there would have been a swath of fatalities. You'd never see that allowed today!!
I never tire of watching this. Ever. I used the cybergenics video of Sedykh to teach myself to throw in college at a small school. Ended up all american and still have school record from 1991, altho don't ask how far cause it wasn't a world beater. Still proud of it. Great memories. Also, this reminded me he was from Ukraine. He's my all-time hero of any sport.
I have watched this video more than 100x, and it never gets old. That WR throw makes the left foot look like he’s moon walking like Michael Jackson. RIP GOAT
Those photographers were insane. If of the throwers had let go prematurely, it would have been like a cannon ball rocketing through about 10 photographers. Instant death.
Wow!!the speed and technique is amazing.It must take years of practice to get anywhere near this level 👍.After all these years this record still stands ,it just shows that as humans it is impossible to physically throw further ,same in the javelin and discus,these records could never be broken!!The only reason the 100 m was smashed was because Bolt was almost a freak of nature with his massive stride etc.We need a Hulk type figurd to smash these long-standing records!!!
"After we had injected his sample into our Hewlett-Packard machine, an alarm sounded and it became so contaminated with stanozolol metabolites that the next few samples spat out false positives even when we knew there were no steroids present . . . we called this the Sedykh effect."
Yeah the 86,68 throw looks alot more perfect than the previous throw, but I assume, as you said, that when you throw a world record your body will begin to slow down and get exhausted :P
Way too many people commenting "steroids" on here. Want to know the truth? The truth is that there are many athletes that are way stronger than Sedykh ever was. This sport could allow people to use steroids with no testing and athletes would still fall way short of his world record. Hammer throw is not about being the strongest. You need enough strength to control the speed and propel the hammer. The rest is technique and skill. You have to be smart in this sport. Steroids my ass. If you think this guy is on steroids, or think that steroids would even make much of a difference in this sport. I am sorry, but you don't know jack about hammer throw. Trolls.
the truth is probably that there are lots of athletes that could have trailed to do this but they just dont because in america we dont talk about hammer throw. Think lebron james or bo jackson could throw?
Nah bullshit is Koji was roided he'd throw further Ivan tsikhan was roided and threw 86.60 is pawel was roided he'd throw 86 plus don't give me that bullshit being roided allows you to train more and be more explosive therefore allowing your technique to also get better cuz you can train more don't be defending drug cheats
It's amazing what performance enhancing drugs can do for you. I refuse to believe this is a clean record no one has come close really since. With his HGH ball headed ass
Cómo lanzador de martillo que fui pude experimentar toda la euforia que uno experimenta a la hora de realizar un lanzamiento ver este vídeo del récord mundial más antiguo y ver al gran Yuri Sedyk realizarlo me trae muchos recuerdos de mi epoca
Incredibile vedere l'atleta che si spazza da solo la pedana con la granata di saggina, poi i fotografi davanti alla gabbia e incredibile anche l'antidoping. Entrambi se ne sono andati anzitempo per problemi di cuore.
Watching this clip after the Beijing throws, just makes me wanna cry... not only are they in a league of their own in terms of length, but also in terms of consistency. Great video!
mm no. it was basically down the middle.. the only issue in the throw was that his double support push was rushed on the second turn. sedykh is the one who says this.
I didn't mean specifically his age, I meant generally "your age is a bit of a problem" as in "anybodys age is a bit of a problem, if you are too old when you start". Sorry, a bit indistinct statement.
im 15 and threw the the 4kg hammer 44m a year ago dont train alot and only do 1 spin i was in a comp yesterday and had to throw 5kg for the first time and only threw 25m its crazy how 1kg makes a big difference
Sedykh told me to my face that he has thrown 87 and change in practice... practice pr something like 87.80... Litvinov is rumored to have done 90 in practice.
Sedykh together with Sergey Litvinov we’re the two greatest hammer throwers to ever grace this sport. The only two throwers to ever surpassed the 86m mark. Thank you for the memories. RIP both.
🎉
83.94-85.28-85.46-86.74-86.68-86.62
What an incredible series of throws
Wr only 86.74m after 36 years !
so much steroids in their body
Rest in peace Sedyhk
You are the greatest hammer thrower ever.
Just watched some recent competitions, they don't have such flawless technique. This is incredible
Ich glaube,so eine Serie kriegt keiner mehr hin.Unfassbar!
THE BEAST IS COMIN!
Ye
Maybe if he was a bit more hydrated

Had to watch this again today (for what seems like the 3,000th time). RIP.
This is the priceless hammer throw video! Exellent job! Nobody has such tehnique like Yuri and Sergei!

This world record will not be broken for atleast another 25 years. Take my word!
@Zelim Can't disagree.

Greetings from Ireland my fellow Irishman.

What a sick series of throws,an average of 85m,todays throwers barely throw 83m
+evilTaker90V2 harder to get away with taking drugs these days.
+TheDrewpdog got eem
also you need to watch his technique though, it's flawless
@@TheDrewpdog Hasn't been replicated in the following years although drugs were still prevalent 🤷🏻♂️

Super commentary by Stuart Storey and Ron Pickering
as a former Weightlifter i always had great admiration and respect for all this athletes...but Sedikh was out of this galaxy..doped or not...
Nah he's doped Koji is the best hammer thrower to me cuz he was clean
@@aaronaustin9814 Yeah my grandma also is best thrower cuz shes not doped.
@@aaronaustin9814 is just your opinion ...
the GOAT of the event. RIP Yuri
Phenomenal Across The Circle !
I watched this with my dad on TV, 12 years old. I'll never forget it when he said "That was a world record!" with a smirk on his face.
Beautiful technician. And the Pommie commentary is almost as brilliant.
I have watched this video more than 100x, and it never gets old. That WR throw makes the left foot look like he’s moon walking like Michael Jackson. RIP GOAT
Is impressive how he was improving his mark in every throw
He has the right number on his shirt for doing this.
sedykh said it was his favorite throw ever and that the fact it was 6cm shorter meant nothing.. to him, it was exactly the same..
Whos here from eddie hall 😂
Lmaoooo yo! 😂😂💪🏻
Ehhhh yup hahahaha me too
🤣 yeah straight here from Eddie.
😂😂😂😂Yup
Me too 😂
Those photographers were insane. If of the throwers had let go prematurely, it would have been like a cannon ball rocketing through about 10 photographers. Instant death.
Litvinov at 85.75m
Wow!!the speed and technique is amazing.It must take years of practice to get anywhere near this level 👍.After all these years this record still stands ,it just shows that as humans it is impossible to physically throw further ,same in the javelin and discus,these records could never be broken!!The only reason the 100 m was smashed was because Bolt was almost a freak of nature with his massive stride etc.We need a Hulk type figurd to smash these long-standing records!!!
the record stands because of modern day drug testing. all these guys back then were using anabolic steroid drugs
بقي هادا الرقم القياسي العالمي الي يومنا هادا
I was there this day.....jaw dropping performance
@MrHav1k yes... Sedkyh told me that he tried 4 turns but it was just as far as when he did 3.. more consistent with 3
I was 6 when this flexing of titans was going on...unreal
Would have been good to see the last throw on here because it was another classic-86.62, again just short of his own WR. Best hammer competition ever.
Must've ran out of VHS tape.
You know you were great when your record outlives you.
I'd give anything to have been there to see it with my own eyes.
love the commentator really professional
The top guys today could use with cutting some weight and focusing on speed and technique. Sedykh is so fast and precise.
Ah yes, a fellow Fury Warrior. A man of culture.
great video!!! yuri with an 86.74 and an 86.68 back to back, simply amazing
You can tell he's at home in the hammer circle when he even sweeps it clean
"After we had injected his sample into our Hewlett-Packard machine, an alarm sounded and it became so contaminated with stanozolol metabolites that the next few samples spat out false positives even when we knew there were no steroids present . . . we called this the Sedykh effect."
I remember watching this live, much more interesting than track events.
He was an absolute machine!!!
R.I.P. Champion
Yeah the 86,68 throw looks alot more perfect than the previous throw, but I assume, as you said, that when you throw a world record your body will begin to slow down and get exhausted :P
hero of the hammer throw perfect skilled The great thrower
who is here from eddie's channel ?
@turb05 I agree, but it is also a testament to how freakin good these guys were.
Previous 86.66m
Who’s here after watching Eddie hall 😂
hammer throw i've never actually watched it at all but its fuckin awesome

Indeed:) And then you find out we're talking about almost 30 years ago!
And still the world record...35 years and counting
This was a kickass competition... Make me wana go out and throw something!
It's amazing what performance enhancing drugs can do for you. I refuse to believe this is a clean record no one has come close really since. With his HGH ball headed ass
incredibile!!! thanks for the video :)
Cómo lanzador de martillo que fui pude experimentar toda la euforia que uno experimenta a la hora de realizar un lanzamiento ver este vídeo del récord mundial más antiguo y ver al gran Yuri Sedyk realizarlo me trae muchos recuerdos de mi epoca
reach to 87 m !

this would literally be perfect with that shooting star song he spins so fast
sedykh's shorts still make me laugh :D
R.I.P Juri
nice to see it was off three turns... Means I could still Become a good hammer thrower if I do 3 turns and not caring to do 4.
Qué fortaleza física!! Tremendos!
A yard is 0.91 meter, so it's about 9 cm shorter.
A yard is exactly 3 feet
Yes Iam. but I see it just the attemps with no sound its another feeling to see it with sound :)
Sedykh, sí no recuerdo mal, llegó a hacer una marca de ¡86'74!
Hahahaha....er war wie eine Apoteke!! Von kopf bis fuss --doping!!
rip youri
He turned into a cartoon near the end of his first throw
How did they not dislocate there knees
That looks so fun spinning in a circle xD
How do hammer throwers not kill like 6 people with every throw
@ColonelVagner It was like 83-84 meters I believe I would have liked to seen it but I dont have it
Human centrifuge
Love the 80s
His legs are like tree trunks. I wonder how much he squatted.
im 15 and threw the the 4kg hammer 44m a year ago dont train alot and only do 1 spin i was in a comp yesterday and had to throw 5kg for the first time and only threw 25m its crazy how 1kg makes a big difference
My son is 13 and throws the 4kg 60m. You wouldn’t believe me if I told you his coaches are.
Now you're 27, do you still throw the hammer?
I am big fan of sir yuri sedykh because absolutely I am hammer thrower
6:10 6:12 7:57
I agree lol THAT is the god of hammer throw and i could confidently say no one is ever going to come close to the class that Sedykh produced
@jmm121884 did youri have any sponsors like adidas
Well, now we know who took down the twin towers.
3:20 His number is 911. Coincidence?
@@hardware199 I think not, his real name must be bush
Im here for a physics test
@ColonelVagner It was 86.62.
Parabéns!!!!!! o video é fantástico!!!!!!
still standing
Savage he's much smaller than the guys today
@JxAxRxRxExTxT with his power thats a good number for him
Doesn't anyone know what the name of the commentator is? Thanks.
I was wondering the same thing, so I did some research and think it might be David Coleman.
The late great Ron Pickering.
Ikr he was awesome so sad to find out he's dead :(
@danbs07 haha no, the furthest a 15 year-old have ever thrown a 5kg is 77,74 m.
That is what I would call REDONKULOUS!!!
83.94
85.28
85.46
86.74 WR
86.68
86.62
@ohedd BOMB. Thanks man
Sedykh told me to my face that he has thrown 87 and change in practice... practice pr something like 87.80... Litvinov is rumored to have done 90 in practice.
It was 87.90. This was not long after his WR IIRC. Then he took a year off from top level throwing but never came back in the same shape as before.
both
RIP
Yeah, pretty big! 80,55 when he was 20 :P
