On December 10th, 2011 Roald Bradstock competed in his second winter meet in Florida in preparation for the 2012 season. He used this meet as a quality training session taking only 4 throws. He broke 70 m with 3 of his 4 throws: 70.09m, 70.42m and then this throw of 71.24m - all thrown with a 800g.
It should be noted that the current World Age Record for the 50 and over crowd stands at 71.01m which is with a 700g. So if he was just 4 and a half months older this would have been a new New World Age Record for 50+.
