how does delis throw so far? it looks like he's not even trying. love wilkins explosive speed. and alekna has incredible shoulder flexibility for this.
Throwing events like discus and shot are great because, they are the only manly sport that allows you to spin around like a ballerina without criticism:)
@princesssoops23 height doesn't madder cause in my school we have a 6 2 senior from France he's our foreign extange student and he whips ass in shot put. And for discus if your tall then you can have more moment and tht means a longer distance....
Check out discus throw in wiki Virgilijus Alekna is second best planet thrower through the whole history that people saw... ;) his best score 73.88 m (242 ft 4 in) if he had throwed 20cm more he would have done planet record
In some respects that is true, but at my last tournament, there was a standing thrower, who was 6'6", vs a spinner at 5'10". The stander won because he was taller and stronger.
What it does mean for the spinner is that he has better potential, because he only needed a bit more muscle to be a lot better than him.
@AILD2themax Actually, size does make a huge difference. Discus is all about the whip you can get in your arm. Longer arms=more whip. Generally, bigger people have longer arms, and can create more whip if they are stronger.
although a smaller thrower would learn the technique better and would make some good competiton to a bigger thrower always if the biggest thrower would suck at the technique. Still size makes big difference...
your all talking about how much size matters, but its also possible to be to big.
if you are too big you will be like a flagpole in the ring, and then the wingspan is no longer such a big deal because you cannot use your legs. And also because of that there will be to much leverage that you wont be able to controle.
And 60-70% of the force aplyed to the discus comes from the legs!! Thats a fact
Yep I totally agree with your views, especially those about legs. I surely wasn't talking about 2.20 m 150 kg guys. I was talking about moderatly big throwers, like smth about 1.90-1.95 m and 110-115 kg who can fully control their body and are highly fast. The technique and the legs are surely important but if you are to short you might also think to start smth else, as other athletes such as sprinters, or jumpers these days are to tall. What do you think?
I have thought so, its a difficult question as whether an athlete may be too tall. But the risk of being too tall is greatest when you have something that can limit one's performance such as a throwing cirkle (such as Discus, Hammer and a shot put cirkle.)
But for example a sprinter or, long jumper there is not such big risk being too tall. The risk of people leaving the throwing events because they think theyre to short has propobly always been a
@TeamDiscus I don't think an athlete could be to tall for discus , hammer or shot. If anything it would be an advantage. Higher release height. Longer arms really help in the discus and hammer. You have to be like 8 feet tall to be to tall and if you are that tall you should probably play basketball. You have to jump to make a dunk.

I only break 100's. I'm a junior in high school and this is my first year. I improved since the beginning. I powered from 70 feet to 110 feet. Now I'm training my power position. Hopefully I will at least break 120 cause this girl will give me a bj if I do o___O
Most people in high school cannot throw a disc. Only a few people can throw distances that will get you into college or nationals. You have to seek out the best coaches to get this good.
@MrHav1k 8th grade, first year, best throw in disc in a meet is 98.4' :D, not that i was talking crap or anything, but im trying to improve my technique hopefully i can break 100' by the end of this season 2 meets left then county, anybody have tips?
@alZiiHardstylez that isn't true caus i have a very good technique when you compered to my opponent, but because i'm small i don't throw more then some people
this is the best discus video on youtube... i wake up every morning at 4:30 watch this video 73 times, eat 18 raw eggs and 6 gallons of chocolate milk and then do dry turns in the basement till 11... this video works for me
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
haha i looked at ur video u little bitch u aint 200 pounds 6% body fat u at most 140 5, 8 and ur a lil bitch discus is for bitches enyways shot put is for real men
@Onlyfirstplace Discus throwing is fuking awesome you dis discus throwing you dis your own fuking country dip shit . Get a fuking life and try it i bet u would if u could wait u throw like shit you two faced mother fuking cunt who sucked fuiking big old hairy monkey balls
@gameproductionzz Man i believe you aren't throw 50m.You are 12 and not even these athletes in the video were throwing 50m when they were 12.If u throw so far put a video to see you :)
The more I hopped on my initial turn, the further mine went. I was under some false impression that I lost my spring and power by leaving the ground. BS.
Any girl with 16 years old that throws discus or shot put?
I'm from Portugal and i'm a thrower, I just want to compair marks with someone from other country, to see what is happening in atlhetics of our age in other country.
@Hernanda7 well im 15 and from the US and my best throw has been a 107'11 but ive only been throwing 2 years. i got second place in that meet so that isnt anywhere near the best around
i have a question, your first step, should it be a hop? from what i can tell wilkins, delis, and kanter all hop a little in their first step by my coaches tell me not too
hey the hop u should defintely do but if u already know slow down the first spin hop across the ring that will make ur body twist like a spring to make u throw farther
This one really helps out a lot! I'm a sophmore this year and plateaued at about 140 can anyone look at my video and tell me what the hec i need to change?? 70 footers videos are always great
man thats a reaallllly describing video im in ninth grade also osborn and throw a standerd weight discus around 100 even on a good throw and was wondering if theres anything that i truly need to pay attention to when doing the full spin throw weather it be something obvious im missing or something small and also for any1 reading this iv noticed something that u really need to watch when ur throwing a full spin is that on the last throw squat just a slight bit and then use that power and snap---
well I would recommend working on keeping the arm as far back as possible, then when you're at your power position rotate your right foot (if u're righty) and make your body use that turning force and apply it to the discus, I wouldn't recommend to much strength training, just wait a couple years for that. Hope this helped :)
honestly mate, it sounds fucked up but its completely true. I'm 6"2 and i have a 6"5 armspan, and in fairness it doesn't compete at all with what i'm saying. But to be amazing you really need to be massive.
Yeah I am the only guy 6'3 with a 7 ft. wingspan. LOL If my sleeves were only 1/2 in. longer all my shirts would have to be tailored. I already stretch the limits of 85% big & tall shops 39 in sleeve length. & I'm only 6'3 but I sure liked back when I threw the discus.
I'm a junior in high school throwing 144' , the thing that i have really been working on lately is getting the left arm open immediately on the first spin, in order to have it in the correct place later to utilize it for a better block. This helped me recently throw a very big PR.
You can see Mac Wilkins doing this EXTREMELY well.
you want the left arm in line with the left hip so at the front you keep that torque and the stretch reflex causes a huge acceleration trust me. My PR jumped thirty feet with that tip right there.
oh and if you wanna be even more jealous i also threw 45' 8" in the shot put. at my second meet of the year breaking my schools 31 year old record by 4 feet. So i dont care if you don't beleive me
Lol..whats pathetic is that you threw a 45'8'and beat your school's 31 year old record by 4 feet. Your school is a HORRIBLE throwing school if its record for 31 years was a 41'8. I could get a random guy from school and have him throw 45+
I don't! I have a 7th grader that has thrown 147!! That is with the half spin. He has the capability of throwing over 150 feet before the year is over!!!
Thank you very much for posting this. I think this has to be the best throws video I've seen on Youtube so far. You really captured the greatness of these men. The slow-motion and still frames are very helpful to get an idea of how precise all of their positions are. Thanks again!
true dat. but some of his videos on here show the disc coming out kinda funny/wabbly. he gets so much snap and separation he leaves his feet in the front. he's a true workhorse!
Tdalae.... you have no idea what you are talking about man. Im 16 and i can watch someone else doing at techniques an get it rite off tha bat. Its not hard, just imitate it and see whichy one is for you then perfect it. Lol good try trying to sound profound and smart dumby!
You need good coaching to get a technique right, You are not going to just "imitate" someone and be a great thrower. I've seen people "imitate" a full spin before and they think they are doing it so awesome and great but the disc is completely out of control so i go stand out at the 100 ft mark cuz i know their throw is never gonna hit me if i'm that far away, lol.
lars riedel and jurgen schult have the same technique except lars doesnt reverse his feet but everything petaing from the beggining of the throw to the release is the same
Some young throwers think that watching several techniques will help them improve themselves but every single, tiny move by these super athletes was achieved by hours of technique training. Each athlete differentiates a bit the applied technique based on body type, speed, strength etc. Young athletes should be taken care of by their trainers in order to find the most suitable way of throwing and also in order to take advantage of the athlete's best elements.
you are right but the real problem is that most young throwers think you have to bench a lot and throw lots of throws to be good. its all about technique; thats why most top athletes are near into their 30s

I'm a sophomore and my best throw is 153'. anyone have suggestions on how to work on trajectory????
braddawg699 2 years ago
I'm a junior in high school throwing 144' , the thing that i have really been working on lately is getting the left arm open immediately on the first spin, in order to have it in the correct place later to utilize it for a better block. This helped me recently throw a very big PR.
You can see Mac Wilkins doing this EXTREMELY well.

he bends it a little bit too much i think...obviously he made it work though

you want the left arm in line with the left hip so at the front you keep that torque and the stretch reflex causes a huge acceleration trust me. My PR jumped thirty feet with that tip right there.

I have a really poor spin so i use half but with full spin i know i can throw 130 plus
hocky4life7 2 years ago
oh and if you wanna be even more jealous i also threw 45' 8" in the shot put. at my second meet of the year breaking my schools 31 year old record by 4 feet. So i dont care if you don't beleive me
hocky4life7 2 years ago
Lol..whats pathetic is that you threw a 45'8'and beat your school's 31 year old record by 4 feet. Your school is a HORRIBLE throwing school if its record for 31 years was a 41'8. I could get a random guy from school and have him throw 45+
SupperMario1223 2 years ago
ha. I hav a vid of me throwing exactly 45'8.25
llennroy 2 years ago
why do i get thumbs down. i thought it was a nice coincidence
llennroy 2 years ago 4
Not gonna lie, 45'8 is not much of a record. I haven't even been to a meet this year where that would've won so don't be so cocky.

I don't! I have a 7th grader that has thrown 147!! That is with the half spin. He has the capability of throwing over 150 feet before the year is over!!!

as a freshman i was hitting low 100's and from spin i was getting between 110-115. this year i throw from like 117-like 130. i;ve improved alot.
frostyman6767 2 years ago
great vid i need to learn some kind of spin im a freshman and throw standing like 98"1'
ilovemichellerice 2 years ago
Thats not bad, try a half spin technique (AKA South Afirca) to start out with, and from there try to work on your full spin, it'll help alot.

Thank you very much for posting this. I think this has to be the best throws video I've seen on Youtube so far. You really captured the greatness of these men. The slow-motion and still frames are very helpful to get an idea of how precise all of their positions are. Thanks again!

bagodiscus22 2 years ago 2
true dat. but some of his videos on here show the disc coming out kinda funny/wabbly. he gets so much snap and separation he leaves his feet in the front. he's a true workhorse!
captaincox09 2 years ago
its came out weird cuz he kinda came over the end of the discus with his hand at the finish, but yes, it is an amazing video

Tdalae.... you have no idea what you are talking about man. Im 16 and i can watch someone else doing at techniques an get it rite off tha bat. Its not hard, just imitate it and see whichy one is for you then perfect it. Lol good try trying to sound profound and smart dumby!
DJT1306 3 years ago
You need good coaching to get a technique right, You are not going to just "imitate" someone and be a great thrower. I've seen people "imitate" a full spin before and they think they are doing it so awesome and great but the disc is completely out of control so i go stand out at the 100 ft mark cuz i know their throw is never gonna hit me if i'm that far away, lol.

i would definitely include Riedel if you do a second technique vid
Raikage100 3 years ago
lars riedel and jurgen schult have the same technique except lars doesnt reverse his feet but everything petaing from the beggining of the throw to the release is the same
walkanator1 2 years ago
schult doesn't reverse his feet. he just has to hop back to stay in the ring; he still throws with a hard block
Raikage100 2 years ago
Some young throwers think that watching several techniques will help them improve themselves but every single, tiny move by these super athletes was achieved by hours of technique training. Each athlete differentiates a bit the applied technique based on body type, speed, strength etc. Young athletes should be taken care of by their trainers in order to find the most suitable way of throwing and also in order to take advantage of the athlete's best elements.
Tdalae 3 years ago
you are right but the real problem is that most young throwers think you have to bench a lot and throw lots of throws to be good. its all about technique; thats why most top athletes are near into their 30s
