What was the wind speed? Seems like a Flo-Jo world record to me. I wonder if Ceh and Stahl had competed that day what distances would have been thrown... If we don't measure throws against the wind speed, doesn't it become storm chasers? Regardless, I am happy at least that we have a 74m + throw filmed with a camera and not a toaster.
Wind is utterly irrelevant and has been chased since the inception of discus throwing. Getting a wind to aid you does not detract from performance. It s a skill in itself. Hence why many throwers did NOT throw PRs at the same meet.
(Sorry, my comments keep disappearing and I dont know why). Nice video and amazing technique and all. I do genuinely have to disagree on impact of wind here, and would love to hear your thoughts. My research finds evidence that discus creates an airfoil and generates lift, which is augmented my head winds. You can see difference in the flight path compared to shot put or hammer. And there were many other PRs thrown at same event, including Yaime Peres 73.09m.
@@quintinvanrooyen2599 Yes it’s an air foil and designed to be that way. As far as headwind goes the only other 74m throw was thrown in a tail wind. There is no definitive benefit to throwing in wind. Most people can’t handle it and lack the skill to adjust to the wind. Even at the top.
@@quintinvanrooyen2599 it is a somewhat lost skill today. The generation of the 80s and earlier had more control in accounting for wind. Very difficult.
insane throw, from a dude who looks insanely relaxed
Glad you found the angles helpful... goal was to make them beneficial for throwers to analyze technique

Fair enough, so adjusting your attack angle and release point based on the wind on the day? Now that would truly be an extraordinary skill.

So was this recognized as official record by ustf?
It is going through the ratification process so it is unofficial as of yet.
