QuoteHT--250-4 You're hearing it here first!! I'm IGNORING the ruling by USADA about Gwen Berry's "drug ban", and the loss of her AR. On this blog, and in my T&F Record Book, Berry REMAINS the American Record holder...at 250-4!! (Anyway, she'll break it again...maybe at the Trials...when her "ban" is up!!)
This guys is like my mind.
Sad to start on this shit but it's important.
SOME FACTS BEHIND GWEN BERRY’S SUSPENSION
Dan McQuaid June 17, 2016
For sure, on both ideas
Are you in the planning to compete in 2017 London WC? The USA Joe Kovacs now has the automatic spot so the USA can have four.
Where is the great Iranian, Ehsan Haddadi?
Speaking of where. Will Robert Harting be like Val Adams and not compete?
Name of the Thrower: Hlib Piskunov
Discipline: Hammer
Month's best performance: 84.91m
Rationale for the suggestions:
U18 hammer world champion from Cali...
impressive.....
Even though he has not made an appearance:
"Who's Robert Harting?"
nobody would say that
sure hope that...
otherwise it would be a shame
Having in mind how much money T&F athletes make its totally understandable...
I agree fully. Robert Harting has a bank sponsor that would appreciate this stance. There are many lesser performers who must make nice with the organizers and not be seen as a trouble maker. Trouble makers will sit home while the easy going ones will compete and make a little bit of monies. The IAAF will sit in their luxury in Monaco and stomp on the people who challenge them.

(Btw. you can add your favourite ones to the poll as well, if I have forgotten some)
@Florian van Dijck How?
Meaning, I was prepared to foul every throw out the front in attempt to throw far enough. The problem, was that I COULDN'T foul a single throw out the front.
You're the opposite of Brian Oldfield.
He should go with a kilt. I think @Brian Oldfield used to where one on occasion.
That 18,35m puts Osborn in the lead for making the US World Youth team for the 2015 meet in Cali, Colombia. I wonder if he can take some throws with the 5kg ball?
Your left arm is too active, looks like an eel being electrocuted, flapping and bending. Keep it long at the elbow and pull straight across your chest at the angle of attack as you block to get a big lag and long pull.
My freshman thrower threw 172' 7 ( 52.5 m) with a 1.6 discus yesterday at the Triton Inv. That is a foot off the California state record.
Coach @Bill Pendleton have you thought about having him compete a few times with a 1,5kg discus to have a mark to submit to the IAAF World Youth list? 30th on the U18 2013 list is 56,69m.
