Piotrek Małachowski rulezzz!!

[hytinendc18]

unfortunetly he wasnt a top thrower at the time i made this vid, otherwise he would be in it

[DJFreestle555]

I thought Virgilijus Alekna would win another gold at the 2008 Olympic Games guess i was wrong!!!!!

[throws56]

yea i guess...but you gotta admit the shot put was a big shocker i mean i was hoping for a US sweep of the medals

[engineerman100]

@shalom1181 They are counterbalancing the force by leaning out and down to the right rather dramatically. Throw as if you are wiping the outside of the circle with a towel, and feel as if you are going to fall out to the right. Then when you throw hard those angles provide counterbalance. You should be a tall thrower with long arms to try to throw well without a reverse.

@shalom1181 Reverse is optional, your body type obviusly can't spin so quickly without revese at the end. their bodies can appearently. Some can, some can't, it's not a bad thing. i don't do reverse and yet I throw like shit at 35 meters xD.

If you swing your left arm in the beginning of the full south African instead of just swinging with it ,it will increase the momentum of the rotation.

Favorite NIN song at the beginning... you wouldn't happen to be DIII's Dan Hytinen would you? Signs point to yes, but still...
