  • Good throwing... Is that 700g.? Do you know a guy called Paulo Ostapowicz. He is still throwing 53m+ at 56 years of age with 800g. We all respect him at our club. He wants to throw 60m at 60- 800g. If he actually trained im sure he would.

  • it was new rule 800g.

    Nope.

    I hope he trains

    :)

  • Dear Roald, Arto Härkönen is still beating you like in Los Angeles

  • that was 24 years ago......bring it on now.....i am a late blommer...very, very late

    :)

    xooxoxo

  • yes he did. He was a good friend. there are a couple of videos on this (my) Youtube account with him talking about "Art of the Olympians"

  • Good throw think that was about 68m throw, how do you keep goin when your 46 because most javelin throwers have long retired by then with a few exceptions peter yates,tony smith comes to mind & kevin murch (rugby & northampton) who still throws & is nearly 50 dont you get elbow and shoulder pain and everything else which comes along with javelin throwing and have you ajusted your training with age?

  • never had any problem with shoulder or elbow or anything for that matter

    training now focuses mostly on conditioning

see all

  • 69m is fcking good if your 46 :O

  • Roald, ur a legend.

  • Of course...By the way, in Finnish book concerning 1984 olympics your second and best throw 81m+ in final was descpriped: " Paikaltaan heittämisen maailmanennätys". Same in english can be translated like "world record in standing throw".

  • what about al oerter. He painted with paint and discus back in the day
