Why would you say that? Aren't you american as well and would love the us boys to win?
Another Storl? so we will not get any medals anymore?

I must agree, its a team "effort" so the team has to be punished...
-
Too far for me man...
unfortunately... -
Why don't you spread the results to the officials? Are the results online available? From your highschool pages?
Then it should not be a big problem to get listed. -
Are you even sure that Harting would even be picked for the top three?
Would not be surprised if there are others be picked instead of him -
Harting is certainly throwing down the idea that he is, and always has been clean. So many other athletes aren't going to make that stance, because they can't. . . . right?
Robert Harting's discus gold brings bitter memories for former East German athletes - Telegraph
Any thoughts on that article? It's kinda old but.... yeah ... someone just linked it to the T&F discussion board...
Puts it in a different light... -
Same here... sure he might not even had a shot to win this AOY but who cares. Its the position he puts himself in what I admire.

Nice discussion is going about that article... I first saw it on Twitter and I was amazed about the responses of all the followers... crazy shitstorm has been started in the T&F discussion board... some users are connecting Harting with the doping era of east Germany...
I cannot understand why someone would do such comparison... Even though im american I dont think Harting could be made responsible for the era of east Germany....

Right, especially because right now the Europeans are the ones leading the complete hammer world!
last years best non european hammer thrower was:Hassan Mohamed Mahmoud with 78,21m according to IAAF

I have been on programs ranging anywhere from 2-3 tonnes to 500+ tonnes per week.
500+ tonnes? what a machine

@Florian van Dijck
at the time I could do:
100ish Snatch
160 squat
and maybe 125ish clean@Thomas Johnson
When I threw my personal best last year I could bench press about 160kg (with a big bounce)
and yes I do deadlift, it's my best lift. Right now my DL PR is about 307kg
Thanks for sharing! You got some impressive numbes -
He's such a funny thrower.. Why isn't he registered here? Would love to talk to him as well...
-
I think @Rutger Smith is right. The US throwers are generally stronger than the Europeans. Most of them are smaller and spinners. So the release of the shot is probably lower compared to Storl or Majewski
-
Thanks for the update @Norm Zylstra
Are you in contact with her? Could we invite her somehow? Would like to ask some questions. -
Right, look at the time when is has been set...
Don't believe it to be broken anytime soon. -
So what would you say why you are good in shot put as well? Is it your pure power or do you just have a general understanding of throwing and just know the feeling how it should be?

@Wrucky how much did you bench when you threw your personal best? Do you do deadlifts as well?
