Nahum

[uran200]

[lagartosilvestre]

[jhonnydx123]

bravazo

[mcanglin]

[bahrkie]

2 KILOGRAMS

[Jacol23]

Great Video, Awesome Peolpe, awesome Strenght!!!

[mjtgough]

No John Van Reenan?

[Dviratukas3]

Virgilijus Alekna and Romas Ubartas rules!!!Lithuanians are the best!!!

[Senblch]

Go go World Champion Gerd Kanter :P

[billdan696969]

Im 15 and throw 40 mtrs or 132 ft with no training or weights. im only 177cm tall but weigh 90Kg and i use a spin i tried to copy so its probably bad, We use a 1kg discus (Should start training or weight lifting to help)

[jpl315]

im sure no1 cares so shut up

[maxymyllyon]

should you be using your biceps at all during the throw?

[Trickour]

In my view its more for support then anything upon the discus release its more of a fling then a throw.

[guitar69legend]

not all all

be very VERY loose

[pat916]

im 16 and my PB 60'5" flat is dat gud?

[Acchilles1987]

Your coaching is inadequate -- you must be missing the basics.

[garandshooter]

do you have a video? cuz im 16 and throw in the 130-140

[pat916]

UR beast den jk lmao

[1JORDANAS]

ALEKNA!!!!

[UkPR0]

im 14 and my PB is like 28m+ is that good? any tips how i could maybe improve?

[Acchilles1987]

We can't know until we know if you are strong enough to throw farther. For some 14 yo's, this is the limit of their strength. Are you lifting weights? Do you do sprint training? Do you stretch?

[UkPR0]

i do weights nearly every day, i dont sprint train and i sometimes stretch before i throw

[Acchilles1987]

28 meters is very good for 14. But since you are lifting nearly every day, you might be strong enough to throw farther. I assume you are throwing a 1 kg. If you are throwing a larger discus, this is excellent for your age.

[UkPR0]

no i throw 1.25

[L0ckY1]

im 14 i threw 30.5m with 1.25 and discus sint my main event highjump is as i am 6 foot 2-3

[UkPR0]

nice im about same height as u and discus aint my strong point javelin is, i throw it about 34m

[Acchilles1987]

You cannot just doing it by throwing. You must do drills and you must get strong. Do South Africans for practice sprinting across the circle. Do slow starts out of the back of the circle to make sure your weight is over your left leg (if you throw right). Screw your right foot into the center of the circle -- don't let it top turning. And keep your chin up. When I get the 13-15 year olds I coach to do those four things, they throw 30-33 meters within a month.

[Senblch]

Gerd Kanter is da World Champion

[TDCAU1996]

I agree 2:10 is nigh on perfection, Lars makes it look so easy!

[zasz12345]

2:10 that's all you need to see

[ep1cdrummer]

all of these guys are amazing. i also throw but i hav sum issue with my releases. can sum1 message me and c if u can maybe help?

[Riderthrower905]

try putting your index finger and middle finger together on the rim of the disc. also make sure you have pressure on your thumb so it flies flat. these tings helped me alot. try them.

[ep1cdrummer]

i actually throw with my index and middle fingers touching. can u decribe what my thumb should feel like on the disc?

[joekrammen]

Robert fazekas at 1:11 is my favorite. if u blink u miss the throw!

[genghishan]

yea dude. My coach taught me to go slow. But i might consider going fast like fazekas. I feel like I'm putting more energy into the throw.

[joekrammen]

when you spin, you need to go slow at the back of the circle, but then after your first step, you need to accelerate. too much speed at the back will just get you off balance and throw you off (you'll foul, too)

[joekrammen]

go to youtube dot come /watch?v=68alJuaCd6Y

(no space) throw video

[dicuss1567]

ya dude its a long story but it happend i didnt get the trophy though

[dicuss1567]

yall want to know something impressive. I got 1st in region and made state without even showing up. and i am not lieing. You dont have to belive me but i did.

[jamasin2]

what no way wothout showing up? you must have thrown it pretty far in meets!

[rocketman159357]

nice video, gonna use this to get pumped up at meets now

[SPQR19]

If you go in front not valid throw.

[dodder62]

in college and beyond it doesnt matter where you enter just as long as you dont touch outside the ring and exit out the back half of the ring. where u enter doesnt matter.

[Softball5621]

k i am just new to throwing discus but what happens if you step out of the circle??

[eminemfan21]

it is considered a break wich is like a foul ball or out of bounds

[dicuss1567]

wut grade r u in

[asalinas59]

these guys are badass i am only throwing 155 with 1.6k in texas high school leval

[genghishan]

dude this is now my discus song. Love the intro of the song.

[safty30]

wat are the pros and cons of stopping at the end of the throw like reidel and spinning threw it like alekna

[genghishan]

I like the way fazekas throws.

[Bballchick2530]

yea he really uses his momentum in it

[joekrammen]

Im in 8th grade and I throw 135' with the 1k.

[Bballchick2530]

1k is a girls disk. so you got a lotta catching up 2 do

[thatonekid2221]

u use a 1k until 9th grade and then u switch if ur a dude if not u dont switch and i am in 7th grade and i throw 135-140 with the 1k

[frizzylizzy0]

thats very good. i saw a kid who did a shuffle with disc... he threw 122 lol

[pejapolo]

well i got 2nd at district in 7th grade and ima senior now but in 7th the winner got 113ft and i got 105ft 3in. but you dont need to worry about ur distance until u feel good about ur power and spin

[sorrydudeirule12]

i throw 75 ft in 7th grade is that good (with a 1.5kg disk)?

[130003324]

yeah thats pretty good, i think those are highschool weight?

[relientscrapper77]

yeah high school is 1.4 in arkansas

[130003324]

yeah thats pretty good, i think those are highschool weight?

[thatonekid2221]

dude u should be throwing a 1k but ya thats pretty good

[Mariusmb04]

alekna is one of the best throwers ever lived. im from lithuania and i known alekna he goo guy. im discus thrower too. my results 1.5kg 50.52m

[jnrshotput]

i recan the newer dudes a better because they have more speed

[Erock800]

speed is not what you need when throwing a disc. you will actually throw farther if you spin slower because you will have better balance.

[tmeighen50]

um....well when you say "slower" it depends on how slow, If you can spin really fast with good balance then.... But I think you mean if you try to spin faster than you are capable of spinning

[safty30]

wat matters the most is if you land in your power position with balance right b4 you throw.. if you dont have that aspect of the throw down rite there then you dont have crap...

[Erock800]

you're right. all i meant was i have seen too many discus throwers not throw as well as they could because they try putting all their power into their spin.

[stephongee]

Diffrence is, good throwers can keep thier balance and go fast

[oogrooq]

looks like they're throwing past two hundred and steroids feet!

[Wieczor55]

Van Halen - Ain't Talking 'Bout Love

[liveleaker]

RIP Mr. Oerter.

[jjc1676]

RIP Al Oerter. You will be missed.

[discord13]

whats the songs name?

[mansdraugs]

Kanter (EST) was better than Alekna (LIT) today. baltic states rulez!!

[0lbaid22]

kanter will never truly be better than Alekna

[SPQR19]

I love this video...

[discakis]

virgilijus alekna:simply the best

[zgdzgd]

Virgilijus Alekna (LTU) today in Kaunas has won his 37 victory in a row 71.56 (a total discus throw leader since 2005, first places in every championship). Gerd Kanter (EST) second place (70.92) and Piotr Malachowski (POL) thrid place (66.61) it was his best personal result ever.

[padarysiu]

Who can beat Alekna? No one. Alekna is simply the best!!!

[jamesjames900]

fazekas can beat alekna..

[javthrower]

dream on..

[0lbaid22]

fazekas needs steroids to beat alekna though

[Darksider86]

It's a shame to show Fazekas in such a compilation. He's the worst cheater ever! Nevertheless, well done, 70footer!

[javthrower]

I hate doping throwers!!!!!!!!!

[vatonaught]

He's a great study for technique and attitude ese'

[fahringer]

he is talking about the USA HS record and it is 234 thrown b7y Nick Arrhenius. I got hurt at the end of my senior season but I threw 190'in the disc and 210 in the jav. I can't compete @ nationals because of my torn UCL. Never give up, train hard and throw far. breaux greers hs PR was like 195'.

[bobmsr]

get that darn arm fixed Andy , i'll keep in touch , if you aren't busy stop by at the keystones and see this ole half blind fart throw :0

[Lbeast11]

232 is not the world record. Alekna or Kanter can throw 232 anytime they feel like it. The record is 243.04 feet, center61. Look it up, Jürgen Schult

[tmeighen50]

hes talking about highschool

[Kaarumaan]

Kanter is the new KING

[Guitarfool202]

I love this video. The clip of Mac Wilkins just rules. seeing my "coach" in action owns.

[cochenbols]

your coach used the "mad roids" to quote the sambo next door.

[center61]

152 is not far at all the wr is 232, and at cif they throw over 180 and 200.

[thisguyoverhere07]

im gonna be in a video like this at some point in my life my second year and im at 152, without a coach im only a senior in hs

[aeiou99999]

152 is fine in high school and you could be in a vid like this someday. Lift and train. Don't give up.

[trackman333]

dude there is a kid in CO that throws 188 as a 10th grader he kills me when ever i throw with him

[aeiou99999]

People develop at different rates. In my event, the guy who is now the best in the world was my equal in high school, but now he is much better than I am. He worked harder during college and afterward than I did, or he just kept getting better for other reasons. If you want it enough, keep at it. You may get lucky.

[Mohawk5000]

Guy a few years ago when my sister was in highschool. Threw 203 in Discus and 70 even for shot put. Don't believe me? Look up Ryan Whiting PIAA State Champion. Im sure you will get some nice hits on that

[Virgilijus87]

Good video!

Alekna and Schmidt are my personal favorites. I met Wolfgang once at a thrower's camp; that guy has quite the sense of humor :)

[bohemiansmile]

I agree....I met Schmidt at the 79' world cup, geting on the subway with the EG team. Then again at the games in Seoul in 88'. Sad to know that the time in between he was imprisoned by his own country for having friends in the west.

[THROFAR]

A varirty of camera angles, plus some classic video clips.

[papafuzzjr]

lol my goal in life is to be ina video like this some day =) at 140's right now 20 and just coming back from a year off

[ThRoWeRRR]

throwers is best of the best :))

[ManoMama515]
