really?
|
yeah whenever he is indoors he throws without as much diagonal motion as when he is outdoors just look closely and you can see a difference from the 1st throw and the 2nd and 3rd
|
alekna said that orter won the olympics when he was 40 years old. so him point was that he try to train for the next olypics and maybe win, if his health will be ok. if someone care im from lithuania.
|
did you know that Oerter won an olympic title while he had a broken rib and a pulled neck muscle
|
sorry i did mistake in his surname. yes i knew it.
|
mario pestano forever!!!!

|

|
lostprophets - everyday combat
|
Alekna is the best !
|
alekna is my idol. =]
when i first saw him throw disk, i got really interested in discus, i joined track and field in high school. my first time sucked, but i never gave up, i studied every thrower's techniques and i improved. i swear i can almost throw like alekna because i got in second place in championship meet. i will always idolize alekna forever. =]
|
good vid compilation.
|
alekna
|
mario pestanoooooooooo
|
HAHAHHAHAHHAHAA
Kanter it Olympic games winner!!!! hahhaaa
|
does anyone think these numbers are alittle weak in both the shot put and discus. And not to mention the major upset in shot put. makes me think there something up with the climate or pollution or possibely both affecting the throwers. I know i dont throw well under oppressive heat and i cant imagine smog helps you throw very well. just a thought
|
Alekna musu Saunuolis!!! Lietuvos Garbe!!!
|
i think it did. numbers were pretty damn low
|
Piotrek Małachowski rulezzz!!
|
unfortunetly he wasnt a top thrower at the time i made this vid, otherwise he would be in it
|
Nice Throw compilation bro...keep them coming!!!!
|
I thought Virgilijus Alekna would win another gold at the 2008 Olympic Games guess i was wrong!!!!!
|
I think conditions would affect other sports much more than throwing.. At the 2004 Olympics with "better" conditions the top 3 shot put distances were all lower than the distances at the 2008 games. For discus, only Alekna's record throw was further, the second and third place throws were much less.
|
yea i guess...but you gotta admit the shot put was a big shocker i mean i was hoping for a US sweep of the medals
|
also, most of the big discus throws Like 71.88 (Kanter) and 71.25 (Alekna) usually come very early in the season and the numbers level off after that. You could also look at the level of competition, i mean in 2005 in Helsinki Kanter and Alekna just kept beating each others marks back and forth and the final mark ends up being 70.17, whereas in Beijing, after 4th round, nobody could really contend with Kanter's 68.82 mark.
|
i was just thinking in my open experiences i found very unpleaseasnt to throw under hot and humid conditions and ive never thrown in a high pollution conditions but it cant help anyones situation. Im just saying what a horrible choice it was to choose beijing for the games. I hope nelson, hoffa and cantwell are still competiting at the same level when they have it in london I really wanna see an all american sweep of the medals it was shocked when i saw the results this year.
|
Harting is gonna be one of the few to go over 70m. no doubt about it!
|
yeah he is a beast. hes my favorite thrower right now and i cant wait to see his progression throughout his career
|
estonia-best discus trowers country;)
