SHOT PUT Jacko GILL 20,01m 7,26kg World rec 23-04-2011 Auckland.m4v

World junior shot put champion Jacko GILL has made history again in the shot put . After being the youngest ever world junior champion at age 15 and 7 months and 20,76m with 6kg , then throwing a world youth record with the 5kg at 23,86m 5 months later. He is now 9 months only after his world title , the 1st 16 and 17 years old to throw the senior 7kg implement officially over 20m . With 19,98m and 20,01m at 16y and 4 months and a body weight of only 96kg he is probably now the most incredible young thrower the world has ever seen with a technique and training based on speed and reactive strength. Jacko has also achieved the Daegu World senior champs B qualification ... but so far cannot compete there because he is ... too young ! If he would be a sprinter or a jumper , he would be eligible , but throwers are not for some mysterious and stupid reasons (????) Hopefully the NZ federation will ask the IAAF for a possible exemption . The world championship should be open to the best athletes whatever their age . Anyways Jacko is already looking toward London 2012 and who knows what can happen with 16 more months to go !!!

Jacko quite never do standing throws . He uses to do only right foot pivoting throws (right foot in the middle of circle then pivot in power position and throw. With this drill he can throw around 18m

Were any of the fouls farther than 20.01?

[DPTHROWSCOACHING]

@timothymetcalfe no they were about 19 to 19,50 . After 1st 2 throws it was difficult to keep concentration and the throws were not properly controlled and finished

[jmaxwell98]

I'm wondering about something, it looks like Jacko holds the shot different compared to other spinners i've seen. Is there a reason for this? thanks

[AxelPRC]

Udo Beyer was east german (code for steroids) and Jacko smashed his record while being a year younger. Ridiculous

[JohnFPoirier]

I threw in the competition in 1998 when Janus Robberts from South Africa set the world junior record with the 7.26kg shot at 20.39m in the year that he turned 19. He was then described as arguably the most talented shot putter of all time. This however is in a whole new category!!!! Incredible!!! Onge-bleddie-looflik!!!
