Hammer Throw - Ziolkowski Sydney 2000 warmup

[Wiegieboard]

Sod throwing in that rain!

[Random54]

you missed the best part...he actually gets up and walks out by himself..cause he is a badass!

[TechNetBack]

thats happend me,too. But i broken my arm :(

[RandomStevie]

It wasn't the rain that got him there, he tripped.

[AZFlameThrower]

throwing in the rain is bad, throwing in lightning is worse lol

[SiRFaTsAloT4]

they forgot to sweep the ring hahaha

[MrHav1k]

Of every track event that you could possibly do in the rain, Hammer is by far the worst one to do. Why the fuck wouldn't they just postpone the event.

[zrx7769]

i dont understand why they dont postpone the event when its raining. it makes as much sense as racing in the daytona 500 in rain.

[leoesharkey]

what amazes me is that he was able to dust himself off, re-focus and win the damn competition, and yes it's the final of the 2000 olympics!

[linkcart]

lol he jesus. hes walking on water

[edward0220]

What is this song?

[angwec]

haha u stick

[ziolek84]

hehe first of all his polish and believe or not he was eable to wiin this competition after this fall!!!

[cdeavellar1]

yeah he did and was pretty amazing that he did

[Acchilles1987]

What adjustments should be made for practicing in the rain?

[guitar69legend]

dont plant as hard with ur foot

u dont really have to change anything though, cuz its not linear like disc

u dont have as big a chance as falling

[Random54]

best part about this man, is that in front of thousands of people. he gets up, walked out of the ring, and was able to throw again without any assistance. ..and to other comments about throwing in the rain..even if you dont throw in the rain that often, its still best to train with a wet ring, cause you'll always want to be perpared for the worst..doesnt rain much in calif. but we arent alarmed when rain comes during a meet.

[Reathalack]

[Ramngrim]

@Reathalack

Oh, come on! I know who you are, you live in eastern Norway. Try the west coast.

[Reathalack]

@Ramngrim stalker! Still, rainy as fuck over here.

[rsputatis]

i live in sweden and its lots of rain so I train much in rain... its good to throw much in rain so you are used to it when the weather is like this in a competition =P

[cbouts519]

i just did that the other day lol it sucks but all hammer throwers have done it... more then once...

[olivercarlehed]

putaoqueuparil

[jagvet]

He was truly fighter. After this accident on warm-up he didn't be afraid... since second round was first... and won gold medal. Unlucky his character never been easy. It is sad because he could more win but for me He is truly olympic hero:-)

[TeamCrusade]

At what ranges are the hammers thrown?

[jmm121884]

1 metre to 86.74metres

[EweTubee]

lol, its not really his fault, the ground looks very slippery.

[koolk]

well it kinda was, nothing against him. His technique brings his foot very tight to his left shin. It just happened that he hooked it just enough. I"ve done it, and it's not fun.

[EweTubee]

yeah but you can see that the ground moved from underneath him due to the slippery surface.

[koolk]

oh no doubt there. Usually a wet ring wont cause that great of an error though. I agree with you that the ring wasn't in great shop, but most hammer throwers prefer a faster surface.

[rmbsk8r]

lol why was this done in the water haha but that shit is hard so i give you credit anyways

[olivercarlehed]

it's so freaky :D hey I could recommend you to click on "Edit Video" and then go to AudioSwap. There u can add some music to the track!

[maahlsko]

Thanks for the recommendation! Got any suggestions regarding music that would suit this video?

[olivercarlehed]

I think Electronica (genre) and then tazzesta (artist) and then the single track. I think it's quite synced to the video.

[olivercarlehed]

no I think u should take metal (genre), Drowning Pool (artist) and then Nothingness (song).

[maahlsko]

Thanks once again! Audio edited!

[olivercarlehed]

I can't hear anything actually...? strange..

[mullacy2]

TV One in New Zealand just played this as part of the buildup to the Beijing Olympics. lol
