Terentev Hammer

I’m Ilia Terentev, a former international hammer thrower who trained under Olympic champion Sergey Litvinov. My personal best is 75.38 m. At the time, I weighed around 90–92 kg and my strength numbers were relatively modest for a high-level thrower. Technique was my main advantage, and it allowed me to compete successfully despite not being the biggest or strongest athlete in the field.

Today, I coach hammer throwers, helping them improve their technique, develop throwing-specific strength, and make better training decisions through detailed video analysis.
