Germany's Robert Harting wins gold in the men's discus throw event with a distance of 68.27M at the London 2012 Olympic Games (7 August).
Iran's Eshan Hadani won silver in the event with Estonia's Gerd Kanter winning bronze.
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men.

I don't care where they come from, these athletes are AWESOME!!
Man, those throws were realllly close together. Amazing how precise these guys can be.
One of the best competitions at the Olympics!! A battle all the way to the end. loved how everyone rose up in 5th and 6th rounds :)
I did discus and shotput for my school last year im doing it again this year I love this sport
"A medal is a medal" So true.
GERD KANTER MY IDOL
crap that good , im going into the U14's soon (September) and i though 11m . that is so good !
the yell adds more power making them throw 'futher' :)
Titans of the event.
gerd kanter`s voice is the greatest thing ever....
harting's block is so amazing, i don't understand how he doesnt rip his arm out of its socket every time he throws.
And hes showing hes a bad ass.
his release wasnt late. he released fine but he had sucha big pull that his throw hugged the left line.
You sir, have good taste in films.
At fourteen I was throwing well over 100 feet. And I was only 5ft 9. And I was self taught, we didn't have a discus coach. But if you really want to get better just practice, buy a discus to take home. I practiced at home. I made it to regionals in my freshman year.
I'm 14 I'm self-coached I'm 5ft 7 and my best throw with the 1kg discus is 39.75m (130ft+) my average is 34m (111ft+) and I agree all you need is a discus to train with, thats all i do
I'm 14 and I've been throwing discus for a two weeks and my personal best with a 1K discus is 84 feet
I remember this match....Ehsan hadidi's throw was longest but it got rejected
I have $100 that say he'll hit 70m in 2013. Never underestimate the greatest thrower of all time.
Its like weight lifting. It uses your body to where you have to breathe out as a way to release the energy.
Gerd Kanter and Virgilijus Alekna were monsters.
that's not bad dude keep it up
Three tenths of a meter... wha... who says that? Why not just say thirty centimeters?
+HeapOfBones 5 syllables versus 6 syllables.
+klieu90210 actually there both 6 syllables 1)three 2)tenths 3)of 4)a 5)me 6)ter
1)thir 2)ty 3)cen 4)ti 5)me 6)ters
Because 30 centimetres is exact while 3 tenths of a metre could be anywhere from 25-30 centimetres
+TXV1300R What are you talking about?
im 5'10, and 160lbs. my PR is 132'11, and i just finished my freshman season
Having never seen discus before, this is not at all what I was expecting.
Congratulations Robert to Gold in Moscow!!!
I am an aspiring discus person
Fair enough mate ;)
GOD DANG! and i thought my record of 155'3" was far, but 223 feet... DAM!
Welsh athletics nationals in 2 weeks, wish me luck in discuss :P
When you yell you throw farther because you release the air in you. Like when you lift something heavy you grunt or breath out a little, try to do it without breathing or grunting and it'll be more difficult.
How did he not snap his back 😮
I like the part when they yell.
Im 6'4 freshman and i throw 130ish 140 on a good throw.
Oh Virgilijus... His days of glory might be gone..
top athletes in the 50s threw the discus about 55 meters.... how is it now participants throw it all about 67m, like exactly all 11-12m more than 60 years ago
the same reason that 100m runners are running 9.x instead of low 10s. just physical progression along generations and new training tactics.
The 100m world record holder in the under 8s category would have won the bronze medal at the 1896 games, so all the events are progressing
Ben Lukins
under 8 seconds?
No under 8 year olds! Fastest under 8 year old 100m time would have won bronze in 1896
MrStrujaa It's actually not so much to do with progression of genetics, it has a lot to do with the technologies and money put into the sport. ie the materials in shoes, running tracks, all other facilities, discus' ect. not to mention back then they had no idea what body type should be in what event. All the Athletes looked the same physically, from shot put to the 400m race. The average size of ~6ft - 75kgs was considered the "athletes body"
for a big guy gerd kanter's voice is so funny
I am about 135 pounds and 5'11, my best throw with a 1.6k discus is 77'2... I am 15 is that okay?
Because he can. I know him very good. He is often in Russia with his russian trainer.
I'm a freshman in college and my best is 51.64m, looks like i have a lot of work until im at that lvl.
Try it. Once you do you will see how hard it is to throw, and much more so to throw over 200 feet. Robert harting, the man who took gold, has been throwing for 12 years. Some of the others even longer. It takes time and long struggles to get anywhere in discus.
you got that off of a movie! don't member the name of it though...
i started discus throw frm last dec nd my personal best is 22.5 mtrs .. is it ny gud ?
what kind of comparison was that
discus
its better than i could ever though, i though 11m and im 13 :)
im in 10th did 40m with 1kg.. almost no practise..
im in 7th grade and i threw 110ft but with a 1k disc
he noticeably speaks it as a foreign language
wtf that is heaps im 13 and ive been doing it since i was 5 and i PB is 11m :)
lol you're like exactly my size and your shot is exactly how far my PR is hahaha man just wanted to tell you that lol
teach your daughter early to do discus, she'll likely get a college scholarship. Every college needs a female discus, shot-put, etc. thrower. And very few care to do it. She doesn't need to be the best. My son was ranked 26th in IL in shot-put as a junior in high school, and got a great scholarship. It was a D3 school that needed a good thrower, not a great one. Football linemen are a dime a dozen...and risk injury.
D3? why not D1
+AccessDenied55 It's all based on performance. My son threw 52 feet 3/4 inch in high school. This made him a good D3 recruit. To qualify for D2 he would need to throw at least 54 or 55 feet. And for D1 58 feet or more. So his best official distance got him recruitment letters from D3 programs. They are very careful; they pick XC guys by their times, etc. Track and Field are all about time and distance. He got into an excellent college with an outstanding 3 scholarships. SO he's happy.
micflor531313 Im trying to get a D1 scholarship for basketball
+AccessDenied55 Put yourself on UA-cam, under both your high school name and your name. If you have stats such as points scored, etc. Put that there too. It's free. Don't worry about D1. As far as education goes, the best universities are not D1. I advise high school students to just get the best scholarship deal they can at whatever college. My son got six recruitment letters: he went with the one that paid him the most for his college education. If you feel you are good enough for D1, it'll happen. Otherwise, try to think long term. A college degree should be the main goal. Try to balance all your goals at once. The degree should be first. My son went to a college without a throwing specialist, then after seeing him, they hired one. So if he would have rejected that college because they had no specialist coach, he would've lost out. If you plan to be in the NBA they will chase you, if you are that good. If it's a dream, consider it may not work out, and you'll lose out on a college education. Fortunately my son made the best decision for him overall.
micflor531313 Nah I know im not good enough for the NBA, I just wanna play at the D1 level because I feel I'm good enough. What IHSA class was your son in
Wow..lemparannya jauh amat..aku aja 20 meter .. O,o
Herd lantern is such a nice guy, and the Iranian is such a sore losing does he
Gerd Kanter?
And remember thats 2KG discus, unless of course your in college.
Christoph harting

oh lol which movie
Alekna has no more 70m throws left

What unfortunately is not shown, Robert Harting dedicated his gold medal to his friend Markus Matthes who died by a booby trap in afghanistan in service
Sounds like something out of Sesame Street...

This kind of impressive but who want to win a medal for throwing a disk?
He speaking russian
