[@micflor531313]

my son is starting college level shot-put and hammer. He said the footwork for hammer is tough to learn. It looks smooth only because these guys are great at it! The best in the world!

@Carl The Robot that's what I'm saying.. why are people standing there bro it's common sense you have a heavy object coming at you fast why TF same thing with the javelins

[@davidbell8869]

Yeah you wouldn’t need to worry much about it

[@jazzysmooth1214]

Nobody: Them:🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪

[@Yuhon100]

I always love the throwing events such as Shot Put, Discus, Hammer Throw, and Javelin.

[@imnotabotrlyimnot]

I wonder how many injuries or deaths have occurred over the years to the judges standing out there. I remember the one judge that took a javelin to the shoulder. Ouch!

[@peakperformancetrain]

Sadly there have been 2 I’m aware of , both college situations, recent 2 years ago , 2017 a division iii meet volunteer college freshman , and in 1984 a thrower at UTK, both were hit in the head, tragic

[@nicesmack9309]

@@peakperformancetrain like why that have to stand there like that? Can't they wait till the throw is done?

[@SssagaBenches4U]

Silver medal after comeback. What a champion!

[@cielopachirisu929]

So uh Everybody here is commenting on the guy screaming, I'm thinking about those guys who're all the way down at the end of the field standing just a few feet away from the 16-lb iron ball of splattering your brains onto the ground. I mean I'm sure they're standing at a safe distance, but...

[@Zulfeous]

Lmao I be wondering the same

[@qgx1147]

now think of a javelin to pierce through the body

[@Teacher2Polis2XtraRice]

It's one of my favorite event in Athletics. Next to Discus Throw and Javelin Throw

[@dgsxnukez9742]

They spin sooo fast!

[@CutTwice]

You guys are so awesome!!!

[@rustyshackleford8497]

I LOVE how the guy from Belarus starts screaming in celebration immediately after a good throw. Nice to see such pride in representing one's country!

[@--M--1111]

Also the paycheck. The biggest purk

[@mattprssmn4]

[@stevespyder]

My scream is 'fly motherf*cker fly...''

[@kuhraezah5867]

How come the judges sit there? Don't they risk getting hit?

[@grantterril4460]

Kuhra Ezah it’s very easy to judge where the implement is going to land when they’re flying over 250 feet (82 ish meters)

[@villoviszkeleti3691]

I love HAMMER THROW ❤️👈🏻

[@TheMafrand]

The yells they come with are underrated funny :-)

Rare quality for a video from 2008.

[@straycatannie5868]

I love it when they guy throws the hammer and starts cursing the other guys mother....

[@stevespyder]

if only the judges could understand their language...

[@pr0fet]

The balls of the guys measuring the throws. Here is this 10 pound weight, being flung from across the field. "I bet I can stand right next to were it lands"

[@snowy2619]

Damn must be a popular sport

[@RiSK_Ion]

I just found this and I watched this in class today aswell

[@Leadscout]

Legenda Kozmus!

[@billdsafdsad]

Why does that one guy keep screaming lol

[@prettynoose8497]

He's from Belarus....Belarusian's scream at everything!

[@manos1233]

I'm a hammer thrower and in that speed that he spins you get crazy and takes some seconds to calm down ;)

[@KiLLED5639]

You gotta scream. It's a known fact, if you don't scream, you don't throw as far. It's like the screaming propels the object further.

[@grantterril4460]

KiLLED5639 ^^^ facts

[@SpaceEag11]

He drank Angeldust dissolved in coffee as preworkout.

[@Scientist_Albert_Einstein]

To get the maximum range they need to throw it at exactly 45 degrees. It looks like they are throwing it at less than 45, it looks like a 30 or 35 degree angle.

[@fernandomedina2838]

How can they see when there spinning hella fast

[@lyteyearz5810]

Thats pure muscle memory, timing and training. They can do the same thing blindfolded.

[@sleepingvortex]

Lots and lots of muscle memory

[@kaitsuki]

[@ngthayoungin]

Who else needs to watch this for school?

[@jeffyjeffy1307]

spin me round right round baby right round

[@qvc1212]

Wow. Five full rotations, I get dizzy just looking at them. I couldn't throw that fucking thing twenty feet and likely fall on my ass trying to spin around. I wonder how long it takes to learn that sport.

[@evanalexander9157]

qvc1212 takes a lot of drugs too.

[@Nabataku]

That guy is exciting to watch, even after he throws it, hes still in the moment.

[@gab_playz9985]

The men with green and red allways rage the number 1154

[@SwordLogic]

The measuring guys are brave af

[@HealthTipsWithJane]

Well now im doing it whit 3 spins , but i havent had a chance to throw it out side and mesure it .

[@cienciakid9921]

Como caralhas eles conseguem mirar pra onde a bola vai???

[@TheLMMish]

I've always wondered why those guys stand so close to the ball landing zone. Are they not afraid of death?

[@valmettirakkori2563]

belarussian throwers shouting "i used so much drugs let me win"

[@belialuedke1880]

great. 💜

[@MMAWARRIOR20]

The spins look like a move from a fighting game or hack'n slash

[@chrispatterson3211]

how come they cover up some of the field with the gate on the left side, anyone?

[@sampsoncorgi1]

Jennifer is correct. They close one side depending on if you are left or right handed thrower. If you over rotate a hammer that thing can reallllyyy go off desired trajectory . You are more likely to over rotate as well.

[@cadenmarcell6637]

the italians: AMMA SAMM A DAA BLE DA BAA DAAAAAA

[@ceciliawade]

Shid! Me being a Weightlifter I would be scared I would knock myself out with it but of course that's what Strength/Endurance/Form is for.

[@blenKUSH]

SLOVENIA !!!!!!!! 4EVER

[@ashleyturner6637]

How do they know where to let go.

[@foot-ball4333]

[@Freddy454x72]

[@Randy790]

After the person throws randomly screams shshsbzdjdzn

[@Jacobsupercharger]

Oh what a talent! throwing a ball away as far as you can, I just don’t understand some sports, what an interesting sport to do!

[@jayyrosas606]

Right just like kicking a ball, or running, or throwing a ball, or swimming, or driving in circles. ALOT of things don't mont make sense huh lol

[@pepsizer6069]

At the beginning, it looks like they gave him special effects to look like he spun fast.

[@beastlybro8767]

They are like freaking tornadoes

[@tommyisfat2]

Vadim Devyatovskiy has the best technique out of all of the throwers in this video

[@Gubulu753]

Vadim devyatovaskiy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@blob440]

So is this basically a shot put connected to some type of cable?

[@stevespyder]

[@sukanya5764]

I'm a hammer thrower myself but I don't understand why some of them did it without gloves?
