First year thrower in high school. Just made varsity and have to compete tomorrow at my first ever invitational. Not ready to spin just yet but very excited and nervous
something i've learned of all the truly best throwers like Luis Delis and Brian Oldfield and Randy Barnes is that they never brag about their distances to total strangers and they are very modest when not at competion. nobody likes to hear your distance unless they are competing against you.
I met Alekna 1.5 week ago, but he only threw 62m then :( But ok, he's getting older and his best days are done. I'm still very happy for him that he's throwing! :)
@leutenantdan58 i use the stingray grip i put my middle and index fingers together you get so much more power out of it. well more than any others i have tried
I have never thrown before and im a junior in highschool. Im joining the track team this year as a thrower, but im not sure which event to throw, shot put or discus. What would you guys recommend for someone who has zero prior experience?
@tiffann48 you do need those things for sprints aswell though, for example, usain bolt wouldnt be fast is he wasnt strong, as his strides would be slow , the reason he is fast is his legs are longer than a normal sprinters, and he can make them move the same speed, so a longer , faster stride= faster time
Now if you were to list the throwers that had the most grace/ideal technique, hands down #1 Wolfgang Schmidt #2 Jurgen Schult #3 Mac Wilkins (if nothing else but for his blocking action with that hair!). Nice list, maybe slightly debatable if you are talking about overall success. I still think it's amazing that Alekna came so close to Schult's record and could never quite get there (especially because Schult came from the east german program).
i have to say after watching this video before state, i felt better and PRed by three feet and took third, i have to say thank you to whoever put this together, good job.
I've been watching this video for 3 yrs. and just recently decided to watch it again for the first time in 6 months. It is definitely not the same without "Crazy Train". Someone explain to Ozzie how much the music adds to the intensity it takes to learn the technique of catching the air just right with a perfect whipping discus throw and have it sail off and touch a place you've never been able to reach.
You do realize that ozzy has probably never even heard of this video, right? It might have been the record company that ozzy is contracted to but it was most likely just youtube.
AdRenteria You're right, Ozzy Osbourne must have sat down on youtube saw this video with crazy train on it and called youtube to take it down. Then 6 or so months later changed his mind and called them up again to put it back up. That's totally what happened.
I would kill to be competing again. Graduated college 2 years ago. Don't be fooled that this sport is for big athletes only, I'm 5'10 and threw 177'3" (54.04). Work your ass off on technique, strength comes second.
GERD KANTER has improved in the space of one season and since the making of this video from #7 at 229'2'' average ,all the way up to #2 with an average throw of over 231 feet...amazing! but beating ALEKNA head to head will be the real test...
Start lifting weights safely. Do Russian Twists, squats, and dumbbell flies. You are also too young to give up on sprinting. Most top discus throwers are much faster than they look -- they are technically sprinting through the circle. I was never as good as these guys, but I was All American, and I always trained to sprint as well as throw. Better for balance, speed and to keep wasted fat off your body.
iv been throwing a rubber disc this off season that has a couple knicks in it some are pretty big...im throwing 110-116 but does anyone know hom much the distance is affected by the condition of my disc?
I saw Mac Wilikins in person last summer.... his leg is so destroyed from roids, but i still have huge respects for him as a thrower. Im glad he coached during that all-comer meet :)
I threw 118 in 8th grade I am now in freshman throwing 110's 120 as my personal record and I'm going to Midd penn championship this Saturday ranked at about 33 out of 40 best throwers in the area as a freshman I'm excited lol
point well taken , however the problem in the discus is someone like Schult who is a great thrower but has a best throw that is largely because of the wind, while the rest of his throws are far below...so there is a web site I found that put thier top 10 throws to average and these are the results, so not just one big wind and one big throw but lots of big throws shows who is really the best....shot put obviously doesn't have any wind advantage so it is not needed.
damm bunch of fake ass comments 4realzz lol, but watever im a freshman n i throw 110-120, but i know i could throw 135, ive done it in practice, mayb even 140 but i get nervous sometimes and alot of times i try to use 2 much force so the disk slips or i step out the ring, but with more practice ill do better and hopefully senior year go 2 state
Great video. I love how every thrower has their own unique technique. It's what works for you. From 7th to 10th grade I learned the textbook techniques and only PR'd at 142-09 in middle school and 136-06 in high school up until this season when I said fuck it and learned my own. As a junior I've PR'd at 167-09 milesplit me. Duke Taylor from east canton Ohio
How did you calculating the average? Top 10 throws? Top 10 meets? Something else? Or every single best throw they ever threw in a competition averaged? Or average of best throws during a 5-year window, a peak, a prime? Thanks.
How many of the top 10 have ever won a gold medal, let alone 4 straight? How many of the top 10 threw during the steroid age or used performance enhancing drugs? How many of the top 10 can legitimately say they competed their entire career clean? Show me the true top 10 throwers.
Okay. This video takes the top 10 throws from each thrower and averages them. This is to account for either fluke throws or very big winds. If you go look them up, it's relatively accurate based on those standards. I mean, Mac Wilkins doesn't even hold the American Record. He was consistently over 70m but his PR is 70.98, far short of Alekna's 73.88. Alekna has had four seasons with at least one throw better then Wilkins' PR. Harting? rofl. Do some research, man.
Jontorres100...... Anything above 160 feet in high school is considered respectable. In most high schools 170 would be enough to get you a top 2 finish in conference, possibly district, and possibly sectionals. State is usually a different story. Unless your throwing between 185-210. You probably don't have much shot at placing high. Then again results may vary depending on the state, and the division catigory your school competes in. Could be easier. Could be harder.
It is obvious that Kanter is not very good as person and he will never be legend or the best discuss thrower. Estonians are simply jealous and be happy till you can because it could be the last gold medal for Estonia lol
its funny how small 3rd country Lithuania has ones of the strongest mans in the world, like Alekna nr1 in the of world of discus thrower and Zydrunas Saviskas Strognest man in the world;)
This vdeo was put up.......... may???? Well Kanter after last week just surpassed Mac Wilkins as the number 2 in the world.... still about .64 meters average less than Alekna...
LOL all of these guys have an Average over 69.5 an Average which would win at basically any competition... jurgen may not have thrown over 71 that much, but it is still pretty amazing.
I'm a freshman and I throw around 115's and 120 for my pr and I got invited to post season Midd penn championship this Saturday I'm ranked 33 out of 40 in the area I'm pretty excited.
@lemuel234 lol thats funny, never seen you in any of the videos that they put up of it and anyway, 'every year' you only get 2 years at the junior olympics anyway
This list is horrible. Mac Wilkins should be 1st, Al Oerter shoule be 2nd, Lars Riedel should be 3rd, then maybe Alekna. Anyone notice that Alekna's supposed "average" is 233' 3, and the video he throws in is one of his farthest throws ever, which is 233'3? This shouldn't be the top 10, And where the hell is Robert Harting? Are you saying that Jurgen Schult is #9? Did you know he still holds the world record which is about 74 meters? This is a shitty top 10 list, totally out of order.
guys that are like i weigh 220 pounds and can bench 250 and throw 190 in disc and 50 in shot and im only in middle school! are idiots you could be a 6'6" guy that benches 550 and still throw shitty in discus and shot, just because your strong doesn't mean you can throw far, its all about tech. im a big guy, i could throw far but i went to state and was beaten by a kid half my size...
@MrHav1k Tell me, how many world records can a single player hold in Basketball or Football? Like one or two? Usain Bolt holds the world record for like five different events. The name of track and field Olympic athletes go down in history, pro NBA and NFL players hardly get recognized unless they're miles better than their teammates, and still you get held back by those less talented as you.
@izallskilfoo when u go to release ur throw what u want to do is release it down ur fingers from ur pinky to ur index i find that works best for me, see the spin is a great portion of throwing disc, when it spins it creats an air pocket around it which is like a platform for it to fly on the air on so more spin bigger pocket better air time, just using one finger wont get the fast enough spin u want, use all your fingers minus ur thumb obviously
i compete football and track(discus): Bench : 225 Squat : 270 PClean: 140 Incline: 200. My friend competes soccer and track(discus and shot) Bench: 170 Squat: 315 Pclean: 100 Incline: 140 He throws shot 42 ft and discus 99 ft I throw shot 34 ft and discus 115 from the power position. Obviously, I have some work to do in something. My coaches keep saying I should do more sit-ups for speed at my core and to drive my hip before punching my arm. Of course, we are not the best in the school.
how the fuck would you know? your profile says you are from albania! and besides... my other comment stands. we threw the 1.6kg at regionals. that might not be what they throw in other parts of state... it might not have been legal but it was the same at district level: 1.6kg if it wasnt the right size then youd think that one of the people from the other 15 schools would have said something.
@throwingchamp611 that just gives us more to work for. at my junior high i have gotten a lot of people to care about throwing, even people who dont do track. I'm second in the nation and people all think that is really cool so they go and watch my videos. If it wasn't for me they wouldn't even be watching track at all.
Well let's say these statistics are based upon 5 throws. Lets say 63m, 64, 67m, 69m and 73m - then you simple put all those together (you get 336) - then you take 336 and evide it by 5 (the number of numbers we added together) and you'll have 67,2m as an average. So Schults average was obviously very low considering he's the world record holder - anyways, you got it? :P
i was at a comp today for under 15's i got 33.98 and this person beat me on his last throw , and at the end he stepped out of the ring from the front after his throw, i shouted thats a fucking foul and the people didnt say anything and he won 0.o i fucking shouted at the guy who allowed that so hard. i wanted to smack him, and it wasnt even a proper comp but still
yeah I can get about 150 with the 1.6 k discus. operative word would be usually cause i'm in eighth grade and I have no problem holding it or throwing it, if it seems too big you can hold it against your forearm. as far as I know, size has never really been a problem in disc, maybe weight but never size, if it is bigger then just hold it higher on your forearm
eres lanzador de disco?? se nota que no...no sabes ni lo que has hecho...has puesto a pesimos lanzadores en primeros lugares y consideras que Jûlt merece el 9#?? no sabes nada...yo soy lanzador por mas de 8 años y te lo puedo decir con mucha experiencia...algunos pueden pero otros...nooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This year wasnt too shabby, Freshman, i have undoubtly the hardest sectional in the state of indiana, wus ranked 12th over all or something like that and placed 2nd xD, threw a 133'7", sucky thing is i threw a 112 in regionals, and wus throwing an ez 140+ in warm ups, i was sooo pissed at myself
You are tall. I'm just 5.57 feet and i'm sure i can't grow anymore. That isn't nice. I wanted to become a discus thrower or a shotputter but I'm too small. I think I have to change to an other sport. Tennis or an other sport. Soccer is too dangereus for your body. You can always break a leg
im only 12 years old and i can throw 5000ft with the shotput and 2 miles with the discus because im super awesome and i post all these comments even though i dont even throw and i dont even know what a power position is but i just like to show off on youtube my uber skills
i know what u mean tiffann. me and another thrower alone score 60% of our teams points at every invitational and im a sophmore and hes a senior....and no one even notices when im walking around with 2 first places and the other has a first place too
I think 170 is decent, but you really want to get over 185 for scholarship stuff ;-). I had could standing throw 140+ in h.s but I spun the same thing because of shitty technique, so keep working on technique you still have alot more to get out the tank.
dude our school record is like 280! jk, its like 180 something. im throwing the discus like 100 feet consistantly. im 14 on varsity. the highest ive seen a chick throw in my track meets this year is like 123ft. but she's a 18 year old senior. lol.
how does it complicate things? it is the world's simplest measuring system. If i ask how many feet in 376 inches, how many? You will need time, or a calculator. If I ask how many meters in 476 centimeters, its 4.76 meters. Easy. Not complicated whatsoever.
exactly, my distance that i just stated is total shit but what I said after that is totally true. think of a time when you were talking to total strangers and you havent lied about your distance. I did once get a big wind of about 147 :)
I'm a female and my record is 151'. But then again, I only use 1kg disks... And for all of you who are saying that you can throw better than these guys, you, too, are using 1kg, not 1.6kg which they are. 1.6kg is MUCH heavier.
fairplay these guys are awesome i'm 15, i can throw 106 ft with out spin and im the best in my county ( i live in wales, uk by the way) its good to see people who are enthusiastic about discus. cant wait till beijing!!!
im not suggesting changing common day items to metric, but why, in an international competition, does american networks convert everything to imperical, when metric is the system used for this purpose?
Im a freshmen who throws average 80-85 only punch though because my spin is ... terrible but ive seen a guy in one of my big meets hit a 163 with a spin he was a junior, he broke the 5 year record.
@javelintosser my pr is at around 87 this is my first year thowing and im 7th in my county maybe 6th depending on what someone else has thrown but ive been breaking 90s in practice
Im 14 years old and a freshman. im 6'1" 155 lbs and i throw a 1.6k 92 feet. i would like to throw 165 by the end of my time in highschool. any tips or ideas to throw better please?
same lol, except for this one kid(beastin freak i tell ya like 6'3" 7th grade) 159' he threw on average then he went on to 8th grade and threw for his farthest 178 or somthin.. crazy
@kersitie im in 9th grade and i'm second in the nation for discus and my team has won track meets because we have a great field team. Everyone cares about field events.
First year thrower in high school. Just made varsity and have to compete tomorrow at my first ever invitational. Not ready to spin just yet but very excited and nervous
that's the same thing that is happening to me but i am learning how to spin
I'm going to give it a try at our Dual Meet tomorrow.
Im a freshman in ny and just started in the spring season and can already throw 95 in disc spinning and 30 in shot punching
im a freshman and made varsity just started to learn how to spin and threw 103 and in javelin i threw 135
@Stepupgamer I'm in 8th grade not muscular at all and I throw 95
my pr is 105, i really want to improve, this is my first year. i love discus, i have so much respect for these guys.
the black guy's motions were so fluid and graceful
something i've learned of all the truly best throwers like Luis Delis and Brian Oldfield and Randy Barnes is that they never brag about their distances to total strangers and they are very modest when not at competion. nobody likes to hear your distance unless they are competing against you.
I met Alekna 1.5 week ago, but he only threw 62m then :( But ok, he's getting older and his best days are done. I'm still very happy for him that he's throwing! :)
@leutenantdan58 i use the stingray grip i put my middle and index fingers together you get so much more power out of it. well more than any others i have tried
Ahhh these guys are so fast! So much different from a lot of high school and college athletes i've seen.
He has a great transfer of energy to the discus because of his non-reverse technique, as well as great separation at the front of the ring
I have never thrown before and im a junior in highschool. Im joining the track team this year as a thrower, but im not sure which event to throw, shot put or discus. What would you guys recommend for someone who has zero prior experience?
how long across is the circle and how heavy is the discus?
Awesome
Niceeeeee,virginius alekna in 1st place,wow,I'm from lithuania :D
damn seriously? that's really amazing
hey can n e 1 spair some tips on how to spin with the disuc?
I met max wilkens at a clinic he is small now, lol its kinda funny.
Haha, The second one looked like it could have gone forever
@PassRusher74 whats wrong with shot put? i do both
@CJ2197 Youll get there. Last year i was like you. This year im throwing 130s. Practice.
looked it up. you're right.
Omg release at 1:16 is incredibly fast its scary...
lol, thx for your input
Can you set the distance in meters plz
guys doest the throw on 0:48 look way farther than all of them i think it does, that was crazy.
It changes in highschool... some people can't adapt to the new discs
@tiffann48 you do need those things for sprints aswell though, for example, usain bolt wouldnt be fast is he wasnt strong, as his strides would be slow , the reason he is fast is his legs are longer than a normal sprinters, and he can make them move the same speed, so a longer , faster stride= faster time
@TIKOMIX u mean 3:57 ryt...?
how far is 30 m in feet?
Its an outrage that Ricky Bruch isn't on here. He had an average from a 21 meet stretch of 69 meters! the man was a beast
I would not be want to be the guy measuring for multiple reasons
Powell was further down the list I went off of...I was surprised too. John was almost automatic at 220 feet. I think he was 12th or 13th.
Now if you were to list the throwers that had the most grace/ideal technique, hands down #1 Wolfgang Schmidt #2 Jurgen Schult #3 Mac Wilkins (if nothing else but for his blocking action with that hair!).
Nice list, maybe slightly debatable if you are talking about overall success. I still think it's amazing that Alekna came so close to Schult's record and could never quite get there (especially because Schult came from the east german program).
Can we get a John Powell in there
i have to say after watching this video before state, i felt better and PRed by three feet and took third, i have to say thank you to whoever put this together, good job.

***** The song is back. Who do you think brought it back?

Jordan Kukal well done my friend.
MAC WILKINS !!
Speed & power in the scale, but also great footwork and finesse in the ring

GERD KANTER has improved in the space of one season and since the making of this video from #7 at 229'2'' average ,all the way up to #2 with an average throw of over 231 feet...amazing! but beating ALEKNA head to head will be the real test...
song is CRAZY TRAIN by OZZY OZZBORNE...Randy Rhodes on guitar
ALEKNA's best throw is ...over 242 feet !
Start lifting weights safely.
Do Russian Twists, squats, and dumbbell flies.
You are also too young to give up on sprinting. Most top discus throwers are much faster than they look -- they are technically sprinting through the circle.

wootwoot go me for having our schools record for 3 years :D
Lars Riedel, the best ever. Outstanding technique.
iv been throwing a rubber disc this off season that has a couple knicks in it some are pretty big...im throwing 110-116 but does anyone know hom much the distance is affected by the condition of my disc?
@tiffann48 yea and feild event performers are actually proven to be amazing athletes alltogether!
I saw Mac Wilikins in person last summer.... his leg is so destroyed from roids, but i still have huge respects for him as a thrower. Im glad he coached during that all-comer meet :)
gerd kantor is gerd kanter not kantor
lol im in track and field in 8th grade and my best is 93.7 and my average is around 87 and i thought that was good
just had a track meet on wednesday and i threw 89.5 as my farthest
***** that is good for an eight grader.
Joanna Winters my new record is 101.5 I'll post it on my channel
congrats! Can I have some tips? I am HORRIBLE at all my other events, so I really wanna get good at discus
I threw 118 in 8th grade I am now in freshman throwing 110's 120 as my personal record and I'm going to Midd penn championship this Saturday ranked at about 33 out of 40 best throwers in the area as a freshman I'm excited lol
VIRGINIJUS ALEKNA - Lithuanians are very proud of him .He is the best from the bests discus throwers in the world :) May God bless him :)
point well taken , however the problem in the discus is someone like Schult who is a great thrower but has a best throw that is largely because of the wind, while the rest of his throws are far below...so there is a web site I found that put thier top 10 throws to average and these are the results, so not just one big wind and one big throw but lots of big throws shows who is really the best....shot put obviously doesn't have any wind advantage so it is not needed.

Ya, but Big Al won FOUR Olympics, and was throwing 245 in his mid 40s. And had not that years Olympics been boycotted he would have won a fifth.......
How did you calculating the average? Top 10 throws? Top 10 meets? Something else? Or every single best throw they ever threw in a competition averaged? Or average of best throws during a 5-year window, a peak, a prime? Thanks.
Fazekas is extremely explosive
How many of the top 10 have ever won a gold medal, let alone 4 straight? How many of the top 10 threw during the steroid age or used performance enhancing drugs? How many of the top 10 can legitimately say they competed their entire career clean? Show me the true top 10 throwers.
ill be there soon.... im 16 PR 125'5" increasing my pr by a few feet per week couple weeks for the last 4 months
@QwinandKell i have been throwing for a year and im roughly a year younger and i was hiting 30 when i started
look under my file at the technique analysis videos...lots of slow motion stop action shots...good luck.
Okay. This video takes the top 10 throws from each thrower and averages them. This is to account for either fluke throws or very big winds. If you go look them up, it's relatively accurate based on those standards.
I mean, Mac Wilkins doesn't even hold the American Record. He was consistently over 70m but his PR is 70.98, far short of Alekna's 73.88. Alekna has had four seasons with at least one throw better then Wilkins' PR.

Then again results may vary depending on the state, and the division catigory your school competes in. Could be easier. Could be harder.
team75plus ,com has the averages of each thrower....Kanter is probably up the list every week since...
Longest is NOT best...Al Orter is, of all times, and yes in his 40s he was throwing 240 feet.
JOHN was really great but is only 14th all time by average of best throws....his average was 225' 6''
If there was a cosmic all-time meet in the morning it would be Oerter vs Schulte Vs Alekna...
It is obvious that Kanter is not very good as person and he will never be legend or the best discuss thrower. Estonians are simply jealous and be happy till you can because it could be the last gold medal for Estonia lol
its funny how small 3rd country Lithuania has ones of the strongest mans in the world, like Alekna nr1 in the of world of discus thrower and Zydrunas Saviskas Strognest man in the world;)

He throws shot 42 ft and discus 99 ft
I throw shot 34 ft and discus 115 from the power position. Obviously, I have some work to do in something. My coaches keep saying I should do more sit-ups for speed at my core and to drive my hip before punching my arm. Of course, we are not the best in the school.
how the fuck would you know? your profile says you are from albania! and besides... my other comment stands. we threw the 1.6kg at regionals. that might not be what they throw in other parts of state... it might not have been legal but it was the same at district level: 1.6kg if it wasnt the right size then youd think that one of the people from the other 15 schools would have said something.
@throwingchamp611 that just gives us more to work for. at my junior high i have gotten a lot of people to care about throwing, even people who dont do track. I'm second in the nation and people all think that is really cool so they go and watch my videos. If it wasn't for me they wouldn't even be watching track at all.
Well let's say these statistics are based upon 5 throws. Lets say 63m, 64, 67m, 69m and 73m - then you simple put all those together (you get 336) - then you take 336 and evide it by 5 (the number of numbers we added together) and you'll have 67,2m as an average.
So Schults average was obviously very low considering he's the world record holder - anyways, you got it? :P
i was at a comp today for under 15's i got 33.98 and this person beat me on his last throw , and at the end he stepped out of the ring from the front after his throw, i shouted thats a fucking foul and the people didnt say anything and he won 0.o i fucking shouted at the guy who allowed that so hard. i wanted to smack him, and it wasnt even a proper comp but still
yeah I can get about 150 with the 1.6 k discus. operative word would be usually cause i'm in eighth grade and I have no problem holding it or throwing it, if it seems too big you can hold it against your forearm. as far as I know, size has never really been a problem in disc, maybe weight but never size, if it is bigger then just hold it higher on your forearm
eres lanzador de disco?? se nota que no...no sabes ni lo que has hecho...has puesto a pesimos lanzadores en primeros lugares y consideras que Jûlt merece el 9#?? no sabes nada...yo soy lanzador por mas de 8 años y te lo puedo decir con mucha experiencia...algunos pueden pero otros...nooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This year wasnt too shabby, Freshman, i have undoubtly the hardest sectional in the state of indiana, wus ranked 12th over all or something like that and placed 2nd xD, threw a 133'7", sucky thing is i threw a 112 in regionals, and wus throwing an ez 140+ in warm ups, i was sooo pissed at myself
You are tall.
I'm just 5.57 feet and i'm sure i can't grow anymore.
That isn't nice.
I wanted to become a discus thrower or a shotputter but I'm too small.
I think I have to change to an other sport.
Tennis or an other sport.
Soccer is too dangereus for your body.
You can always break a leg
im only 12 years old and i can throw 5000ft with the shotput and 2 miles with the discus because im super awesome and i post all these comments even though i dont even throw and i dont even know what a power position is but i just like to show off on youtube my uber skills
It was averages of top 10 Throws... Look at team75plus com.... Jurgen schult really didnt have that many amazing throws...
i know what u mean tiffann. me and another thrower alone score 60% of our teams points at every invitational and im a sophmore and hes a senior....and no one even notices when im walking around with 2 first places and the other has a first place too
I think 170 is decent, but you really want to get over 185 for scholarship stuff ;-). I had could standing throw 140+ in h.s but I spun the same thing because of shitty technique, so keep working on technique you still have alot more to get out the tank.
dude our school record is like 280! jk, its like 180 something. im throwing the discus like 100 feet consistantly. im 14 on varsity. the highest ive seen a chick throw in my track meets this year is like 123ft. but she's a 18 year old senior. lol.
how does it complicate things? it is the world's simplest measuring system. If i ask how many feet in 376 inches, how many? You will need time, or a calculator. If I ask how many meters in 476 centimeters, its 4.76 meters. Easy. Not complicated whatsoever.
exactly, my distance that i just stated is total shit but what I said after that is totally true. think of a time when you were talking to total strangers and you havent lied about your distance. I did once get a big wind of about 147 :)
I'm a female and my record is 151'. But then again, I only use 1kg disks...
And for all of you who are saying that you can throw better than these guys, you, too, are using 1kg, not 1.6kg which they are. 1.6kg is MUCH heavier.
fairplay these guys are awesome
i'm 15, i can throw 106 ft with out spin and im the best in my county ( i live in wales, uk by the way)
its good to see people who are enthusiastic about discus.
cant wait till beijing!!!
@tiffann48 ikr im in 8th grade no one cares at all about the feild events
yea i agree...if i can throw like them il'l can totaly win in sch..but 2 bad i cant so..mite as well practice...=)
im not suggesting changing common day items to metric, but why, in an international competition, does american networks convert everything to imperical, when metric is the system used for this purpose?
Im a freshmen who throws average 80-85 only punch though because my spin is ... terrible but ive seen a guy in one of my big meets hit a 163 with a spin he was a junior, he broke the 5 year record.
@javelintosser my pr is at around 87 this is my first year thowing and im 7th in my county maybe 6th depending on what someone else has thrown but ive been breaking 90s in practice
Im 14 years old and a freshman. im 6'1" 155 lbs and i throw a 1.6k 92 feet. i would like to throw 165 by the end of my time in highschool. any tips or ideas to throw better please?
same lol, except for this one kid(beastin freak i tell ya like 6'3" 7th grade) 159' he threw on average then he went on to 8th grade and threw for his farthest 178 or somthin.. crazy
@kersitie im in 9th grade and i'm second in the nation for discus and my team has won track meets because we have a great field team. Everyone cares about field events.
