I laugh at all the fools giving Timmermann flak for his form. He was 6'3, barely 260lbs and was throwing as far as 6'6, 300+ pounders. He used every single bit of torque generated from his glide. His form is the definition of the glide. Sure steriods helped, but everyone in that competition used them. The reason why people don't glide anymore is they don't want to work hard at mastering it. Timmermann mastered it. He will go down in history as one of the best shot putters of all time.

Ulf timmermann is truely the greatest, I've been in similar situations but just a hell of alot less pressure since this is the olympics lols. To be leading all the way through and barne pulls a rabbit out of his ass (so to speak ;-) ) I would be shitting bricks. However this guy didn't loose his composure one bit, he looked the same on all his throws, truely professional.
