What size shot do you like to throw in meets?
What do you use to wrap your wrist and hand?
What kind of chalk do you like to use?

it was definitely a monster toss, sure but David Storl is consistent and really good under pressure.

I really like the idea! This will probably bring the fans a lot closer to the athletes... and thats needed for the throwing events...

You guys are sure Bubka will be able to help putting the hammer event into the DL?

I would be overseen by WADA and the IAAF, the list of substances wouldn't change from what it is, but it would give people who want to use to get better the chance to actually be honest about it.

Being honest about it... are you sure this is goin to work ?
Highly doubt that..

How old are you? Doesnt look to bad.

Quote from Tom 'thunderhorse' Clough

I completely agree, I think they should go the same route as Body-building or MMA and have a separate completion calendar to people who don't dope, let them compete just not against legit competitors.

You sure that is going to work?
How would you do that?

Who decides what is illegal and what not?

Didn't have Christopher Harting on my list... being 2nd in 2015... gonna be interesting what is happening in Beijing

I hope they gonna show some more throws....
so many big ones out there now...

Ah I was also suggesting David Storl... But you were too fast for me hehe

Name of the Thrower: Pawel Fajdek
Discipline: Hammer
Month's best performance: 83.12m
Rationale for the suggestions: world champion Pawel is just purely amazing... as far as I read, he won at the universiade with 5 meters distance to the second place....
And who can bat him in 2015? so far no one. And is there anyone being able to beat him in Beijing? Highly doubt it...

Who just found this piece here via the Facebook post.
Well written @Jason Young, @Ryan Whiting and @Kibwé Johnson.

I really like how you are approaching this "balance"

Whoa!!! so many throwers above 86m....
This is going to be a great world championships...

Ah right, I forgot to add it to the database.

Thank @Luke

I found the video:

Thanks @Florian van Dijck
I really didn't see that.

So he was expecting not to be on his best...

Intersting that he said he wants to see what happens in Beijing.

Quote from Robin Claes

He said he expected it. it was a training comp for him

Where can I find it ?! DId not see it

Great comp! I bet Kovacs did not expect that to happen..

"There's nothing I enjoy more than seeing people leave their bar loaded at the end of the gym session. I like putting their weights away for them."

Not just for throwers but for everyone who is pissed off by this...

Throwholics Fanpage just posted this on their wall ...
