  • My first meet is this tuesday, I'm a senior and high school. This is my one and only season to get some good results. My tips that I'm passing on from my coach:

    First throw you take, do it standing, do it well. Just get the disc out onto the field and see what you're throwing is like in comparison to others. If you've learned the spin and feel confident, take your last throw spinning, or you can do the South African as an alternative.

  • Hello,

    I am a former collegiate discus thrower. I think your coach is right if you are an absolute begginer. If this is your first season throwing and you haven't practiced the full throw (spin), then your coach is right. However, it is always better to do the full throw because it serves as good practice and it will be the only way to throw far. Best of luck.

  • and there discus is heavier than yours

  • i'm a junior student from highschool and i'm a discus thrower. how awesome these guys are eh? my farthest throw is 20.sumthin meters, haha. but these guys measures 70 + haha. how powerful :)

  • this is an awesome slide show.

  • 1.5 is for men 50-59. Are you a masters thrower?

  • Its illegal if you do it the way you do in practice. Its legal when keeping both feet inside of the ring, instead of starting 1 foot outside of the ring like you would when drilling

  • announcer made mistake. Riedel only won World Championships 5 times

  • yeah, that was my advice for my first meet ever. i actually moved up to doing the slide every single meet. at this point, i'm moving up to collegiate discus, which will be a new and exciting challenge. let's see how well i do my second year.

  • just letting everyone know im a soph. in H.S. and im goin to state for discus! and these videos r sick i mean the way these guys carry there bodies across the ring is fricken sweet!
