That he coached Sedykh doesn't mean his technique when he was a competitor was the same as being taught to Sedykh. It likely wasn't as the WR has increased since this throw by about 10 m. Technique changes are likely the biggest factor, and an indication of the older technique is that here you can hear Bondarchuk's steps. A well known Belgian commentator remarked about this in the 1980s, about some non-Soviet competitors, that they 'were lagging and still using the old Soviet technique' (as they were the innovators in technique)... In the newer technique the steps are more smooth, come lower off the ground, and they don't use a wide stance.

you missed training concepts.. technique and training concepts are different; please educate yourself before posting drivel@@wouter_scholten

you will find these same coaching clowns whom say "outdated" to be talking all the time about 'outdated' techniques, training concepts and athletes come a different day. We are told Jay Silvester's discus technique is outdated, that wide sweep at the back isn't good but I can guarantee you that if and when some thrower uses that same technique and throws far and wins worlds, big events, gold, etc., that he will be emulated in a heartbeat by many and that outdated term will be neo
