Us throwers are honestly so underrated. Half of the people that know of Track and field have no clue about throwing or the strain we put on our bodies to throw far. It’s sad too because at some track meets the official tend to act like they have a better use of their time. We don’t get the same love and respect that the runners get and it genuinely bothers me. It’s hard to put your body through all that to compete only to end up with no support. Those who run track, support your throwers❤️! We go through a lot to do what we have to do. This is not an easy event at all. Not just shotput either. I’m talking about weight throw, hammer throw, discus, javelins and shotput. Throwing is very complex and takes a great deal of physical and mental discipline. Be there for your teammates!💕
They are not saying he is small, but he is really small compared to the other big throwers back then and even now, that is what they are talking about.
not necessarily. he had massive legs which are better for the glide. and im not sure if he had the upper body strength like barnes had to do the spin. but we will never know

I'm a sprinter and I'm just now getting interested in the throwing events and I'm definitely going to acknowledge this thing you are telling me!
Nobody cares except your juiced lol.
Thanks for the comment, I've always been a huge fan of your videos. They've helped me promote throwing to athletes I coach in high school.
really like it and i learned from it also
The one 'Dislike' is obviously Randy Barns after the 1988 Games!
I totally love Ulfs explosivness and technique i wish i would've been as good as him. Nice video over all Thanks!!!
As a glide thrower his is the king of the shot.
No comparison of timmmermann, perfect glide with lightening speed
What a GREAT glide...Take note of how hard and fast he pulls the left leg and left hip across the ring. That's how its done!
you know its the 80's when the sector is marked out to 25 meters
3:27 He actually looks like a decathlete.
Amazing that he threw that far with such a 'skinny' frame.
Can you make more videos of gliders? I really enjoyed this one and have watched it 15+ times. 5 Stars.
PURE BEAUTY...
he and Gunthor the best
he has the greatest release kind of jab of a boxer
Oh my God 😲 watching this after 14 years. Is anyone there 💭
They are not saying he is small, but he is really small compared to the other big throwers back then and even now, that is what they are talking about.
@IwontSay He was 118kg, Randy Barnes he was around 135-140kg
Amazing athlete.
how does he go so quick ay
@IwontSay I don't think so. I think he was only 120Kg.
did that song end with them saying fried chicken
"One Vision" by Queen
I don't think that is what he meant. He meant that ulf looked significantly smaller than the other shotputters due to his tight/compact muscle.
i can throw about that far...in feet
Don't let that small frame get you. The man was really strong. I know there's a video some where showing him bench over 5 bills super fast.
I don't know what those 5 bills weighed but l know from great sources,fellow competitors that his best bench was 418
Ulf Timmermann
Gender: Male
Height: 6'4" (194 cm)
Weight: 260 lbs (118 kg)
I know you post is old, but he was a huge man
The first throw is the fastest I've seen anybody move
not necessarily. he had massive legs which are better for the glide. and im not sure if he had the upper body strength like barnes had to do the spin. but we will never know
HOLY DAMN, HE IS FAST!!!!!!
Красавец !!!
If God is real, his name is Ulf!!! LOL
