Men's Discus World Record Progression

[@dijkb]

In those days (Oerter, Danek) these were big guys at 6 feet 4/5. Che is 6 feet 9, Stahl is 6 feet 7.

Sadly you left out my dear brother John van Reenen who broke the WR at 68,48m! In Stellenbosch South Africa. I have a pic of that if you would correct your video please,

[@unedited2716]

WOOW I WILL always remember him as a true 🏆 CHAMPION and pray for all that need his hand in a time of need SOO sorry
