This sport takes a lot of good form and technique... kind of like gymnastics, except they stay on the ground and use the enertia of a foreign object. tough stuff of sports!
Adrian Annus probably has the worst form here...his catch is huge, wide stance, the fact that he has to compensate for over stepping the catch by starting in the right half of the circle...and his jump/foot switch at the end? I don't care if he's got distance, he's a poor example of a good thrower.
true, but in hammer you are very strenght dependant (in some ways), and size may just help out a extra little bit :P
In my opinion Litvninov is the best thrower, because he is the smallest thrower ever :P and he still got third ranking I belive, 86,06 or something :P
@maximus7189 i admit you have me in the hammer but i have you in shot and disc, oh and i can say im clean what have you done to make you lose your hair?
@cochenbols Besides these athletes using steroids, you forgot to mention their dedication, proper nutrition, and eternal motivation they have. I don't use steroids, but I'll have to admit it, I want to see: + 100 miles fastballs, home-run derbies, under 10 seconds 100-meter-dashes, +150 basketball scores, and almost anything inhuman! If you could chose between watching a roided football team and a drug-tested team, which one would you rather see?
I find that people who go out of their way to say that they hate hammer throw or any throwing event are the kind of people who suck at anything more technical than football, basketball, soccer, baseball or hockey. Anyone can play those sports. It takes much more to succeed in these throwing events. And someone like you, "kickthebass", just put it down because you could never be patient enough to learn something so difficult.
Please don't try to compare the difficulty of hockey, or football, or any other real sport.. to fucking throwing a hammer.
You are delusional beyond belief, my friend. Real athletes spend their entire lives training, and getting to the big leagues, whereas i bet hammer throwers start at the age of like 16, maybe even older in a lot of cases.
I didn't compare, I contrasted. The sports you just listed are easy to pick up in a matter of months. Hammer takes many many years to master. I threw my first hammer as a freshman in high school. I'm 19 now and I still have stuff to work on. I'm only 188lbs and everyone I go up against is over 210. So I think I'm doing pretty well for myself considering. I don't understand why you're so against hammer throw. What sport do you play?
hammer throw much like discus and javelin take much much more technique and skill than normal sports and they definately are real sports have you ever heard of TRACK AND FIELD? yeah its a sport. nice attempt at sounding cool tho. honestly why do you bother?
sports dont have to be contact for it to be challenging. ping pong isnt contact, they train forever, and its fucking hard to get as good as professionals.
Gymnastics. Not contact. they train from the age of 2, and thats a sport.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow. Why are you still fucking responding?
I don't give a shit about your gay ass hammer throwing, and I guess I hit a sensitive spot with you, but responding to a comment 2 weeks later out of nowhere is ridiculous.
U probably hv no idea. its obvious :S. hummer throwing is one of the most tecnical sports and requires lots of hours of training every day (not 2-3, more like 8+) to come to this level.
kickthebass: your ignorant comments provoked me so much that I bothered to share a quote with you. If you understand it, think about it, if not bother someone else.. A strong passion for any object will ensure success, for the desire of the end will point out the means."
not 20, only 16 Be smart... do research. by the way if your not into it, don't watch it. Also every person watching this knows you don't have what it takes to throw
I picked a random date when i signed up. Jesus christ you're an imbecile. That was a given though, considering only imbeciles could like such a stupid sport.
your cute, the way you are completely intolerant of other peoples interests makes me know your a burden to society. now please say something else that makes no sense at all so i can further bring down your low self esteem and hope you cut your wrists the right way next time.
kickthebass youre so retarded. why did you bother clicking this video if you didnt like the hammer throw. you OBVIOUSLY have no life at all to be so retarded to click it when it clearly fucking says HAMMER THROW YOU RETARD. why dont you be smart and not make yourself look cool by saying shit ok? thanks!
im glad you give up because with that being all you reply with, you obviously realize that you just got your fat ass killed by everybody who commented here. next time use the thing inside your head some of us call a brain, if you can find it. we would all appreciate that
Give a hammer to any strong man, body builder, fitness enthusiast, and I guarantee it won't go even 100 feet. Do you think these guys mastered heel turns by bench pressing?
hey man. it's so true. but i have seen one really strong as dude throw the hammer with one turn 190 feet.. that was all muscle from that guy. but you can't hit no 80 meters without techinque in the hammer. it's just not possible.
i tried to throw hammer and it was a lot harder than it looks. i used to throw shot and disc at my school. it was fun until i pulled the shit out of my groin while i was spinning.
I am a hammer thrower and have an international comp coming up and the best way to get better at this awesome sport is to have as amny throws as you possibly can(which is what i do) and watch experts throw like some of the ones throwing in this video, so once again thanks mate!!!
I just started hammer on Thursday and I did a competition 2day and I came 1st with a throw of 27 meters.....it was a standing throw with 4kg.....I LOVE HAMMER NOW !!
I'm organizing a field day for my child's school and we are doing a "hammer throw". I'd love to download this video and show it on a loop. How do I do this?
oh they do, certain states like rhode island, new york, connecticut, georgia, mass, south dakota, california, washington and i think oregon. almost every high school in rhode island has hammer throw
I never said it didnt require any strength, I just mean that if you take the worlds strongest man and put him up against moderately strong but skilled thrower, the skilled man will win every throw
True, and even if that thrower gets up to numbers that WSM competitors are doing It may not directly improve distance... Many big name throwers now are more about just maintaining their strength levels and improve skill.
they are trying to get stronger but at a point you can only be so strong, look at cantwell in shott-an event that requires more strength, then skill- he benches over 600lbs and is like 6'7 yet barnes has the record and only benched 500 and was 6'4. So skill is much more important, but unless your benching like 400+ and squating near 700 lbs or so you should still focus on getting stronger also.

they are trying to get stronger but at a point you can only be so strong, look at cantwell in shott-an event that requires more strength, then skill- he benches over 600lbs and is like 6'7 yet barnes has the record and only benched 500 and was 6'4.
