Can I see you punch something Roald? A heavy bag, a punch machine, a water melon, you name it. Might be a bit hard/take time to convert the mechanics esp at the arm/final part, and it may never be good enough to show your true prowess because these things just take so much time, but at the same time its very similar for the hips leg kinetic linking, "body-impact (weight)" and then the weight transfer from foot to foot , you may be able to learn it really fast. Ive never seen an Olympic strength/power* athlete punch before but id sure love to. Its something original no one has seen before ud be perfect, the world as far as I know hasnt ever seen this before. (Wraps galore, 2 large knuckles, gloves) Kind regards your fan!
Ud show those "strong men" whats up if you are able to nail the form of say a boxing punch. (which they horrifically fail at) As far as I know its never ever been done before in human history or at least its never been recorded. Ive never seen the cross over but its quite a close cross over to make. Right arm punch, straight right or right hook? Would be savage!
To me it seems you are fixated on getting records, getting number 1, and throwing objects. But uve gone as far as you can with that, uve done that to absolute death, entertained us became elite entertained us throwing all sorts of objects and uve set all sorts of records, once again that is done to death, you cant really add anymore, you could throw a beer bottle or a stone at the beach or set a record at 60 but it just wouldnt make an impact vs what uve already done But youve got this golden opportunity to do something interesting that no one else has. Youve got this world class ability you can now take it to do something interesting, that would be as good (to me and others) as a 1st place at the Olympics! Hunting, Javelin descends from hunting, I know its not PC and ud have to lose some fans, but why not go for a hunt and film it, its part of history and humanity and ud "bring it back" in an unusual way with the highest level of sporting ability? Its also part of warfare, perhaps you could throw some medieval weapons. Make some kind of modern-ancient recreation. Using real weapons from ancient Greece or from ancient warfare Its also part of an extremely ancient part of humanity where we used to hunt large game like Rhino and Elephant (stone age hunting), it would be a bit extreme and distasteful and dangerous to recreate a hunt, lots of people would hate your guts ud lose lots of friends, but thats how you get your number 1 status. People wont remember a non Gold Javelin thrower we are fickle and absurdly perfectionistic not me but the rest of humanity, (sorry to be a pos compared to you criticizing) but they will remember a world class Javelin thrower recreating human history in a way never done before ever. So a hunt, you probably eat meat why not take out an old African game animal about to die anyway. To film it , that would be spectacular. Make it action packed. Run after throw, send it right through the animal. So throw a medieval weapon perhaps at medieval armor , recreate the past accurately in a way a historian would appreciate, but with modern and world class technique
You are in an unusual position as a rare world class athlete to be able to make new footage thats never been seen before, stuff thats not yet in human culture. Id like to see you hunt with a spear, swing a baseball bat throw a boxing punch, throw a kickboxing thai kick (its similar), play some "friendly" jai alai. But anyway there's just so much opportunity for world class ability and interest, that no human has done before, no human has recorded it, its not yet in world culture! Might be worth a brain storm on what you can do with this ability in other areas thats of interest to humanity !?
Hi Roald. I competed against you way back around 1978.....you were brilliant.
Any more videos from this event?
