is there any videos that show him just throwing? i throw for my high school and want to duplicate his form. having the discus come from behind at the last second generates more torque i think..
Al Oerter threw 240 feet at the age of 45 - a truly legendary performance. It may be the greatest athletic feat of all times. He was like a bottle of fine wine that just got better and better with age.
Damn... Im skipping the youth world champs this year due to injuries. I know it's not the same thing, but I just don't wanna go there and not perform a 100%
240 on roids or caught a tailwind
