Good throwing... Is that 700g.? Do you know a guy called Paulo Ostapowicz. He is still throwing 53m+ at 56 years of age with 800g. We all respect him at our club. He wants to throw 60m at 60- 800g. If he actually trained im sure he would.

[Roald62]

it was new rule 800g.

Nope.

I hope he trains

Of course...By the way, in Finnish book concerning 1984 olympics your second and best throw 81m+ in final was descpriped: " Paikaltaan heittämisen maailmanennätys". Same in english can be translated like "world record in standing throw".

[Roald62]

yes he did.  He was a good friend. there are a couple of videos on this (my) Youtube account with him talking about "Art of the Olympians"

[rebel2xtreme]

what about al oerter. He painted with paint and discus back in the day

Good throw think that was about 68m throw, how do you keep goin when your 46 because most javelin throwers have long retired by then with a few exceptions peter yates,tony smith comes to mind & kevin murch (rugby & northampton) who still throws & is nearly 50 dont you get elbow and shoulder pain and everything else which comes along with javelin throwing and have you ajusted your training with age?

[Roald62]

never had any problem with shoulder or elbow or anything for that matter

training now focuses mostly on conditioning

[javthrower]

will you pain my javelin?If I would dressed like mine airglider I would look like lolipop =)=)
