[dsnider117]

[dicuss1567]

but the south african is illeagl is high school

[SS100gogeta]

south african is legal i use it

[Ploxinator]

Its illegal if you do it the way you do in practice. Its legal when keeping both feet inside of the ring, instead of starting 1 foot outside of the ring like you would when drilling

[bboyalx]

just watching this is helping me alot

[analmilkshake]

any tips for throwing discus, have my first meet in 2 weeks, im throwing 1.5k

[azneserice]

dont you mean 1.6k? 1.6 is highschool. 1k middle, 2k college+

[gtmcc01]

My first meet is this tuesday, I'm a senior and high school. This is my one and only season to get some good results. My tips that I'm passing on from my coach:

First throw you take, do it standing, do it well. Just get the disc out onto the field and see what you're throwing is like in comparison to others. If you've learned the spin and feel confident, take your last throw spinning, or you can do the South African as an alternative.

[mattfoley59]

hey man, just go for it. Spin all three. Go big or go home.

Hello,

I am a former collegiate discus thrower. I think your coach is right if you are an absolute begginer. If this is your first season throwing and you haven't practiced the full throw (spin), then your coach is right. However, it is always better to do the full throw because it serves as good practice and it will be the only way to throw far. Best of luck.

[gtmcc01]

yeah, that was my advice for my first meet ever. i actually moved up to doing the slide every single meet. at this point, i'm moving up to collegiate discus, which will be a new and exciting challenge. let's see how well i do my second year.

[aeiou99999]

1.5 is for men 50-59. Are you a masters thrower?

[AMFB415]

wow, robert fazekas was a BEAST back then.... until that stupid failed drug test.... >=[

[hitmanasa]

tarponsalltheway - you are retarded, there is no such discus as 3kg. Men's discus is 2kg and that's all noob.

[sniper282]

how heavy is the frisbee thing

[tarponsalltheway]

are you retarded!!! its called a discus, and a junior high is 1kg, high schoo is 2kg and college is 3kg

[OKLAfootball15]

high schools 1.6

[OKLAfootball15]

and college is 2k

[Unrelentingx]

lol HS is 1.6 college is 2k. Shot in HS is 12lb College is 16

[sabre657]

There is no shuch thing as a 3Kg discus in any competition; the only reason there might be one is for training purposes.

[tarponsalltheway]

are you retarded!!! its called a discus, and a junior high is 1kg, high schoo is 2kg and college is 3kg

[tarponsalltheway]

This announcer sucks. I'm falling asleep just listening to him

[mageslayer99]

Nice video apart from the shocking commentary by that godawful Yank.

[thawillmeister]

This is one of the best videos of discus on the internet, it shows some of the worlds best throwers, great technique and all, plus the slowmo so you can really understand the beauty and form that goes with the sport. Not just a music video compilation :)

[JakeAndGeorge]
