DISCUS HADDADI Ehsan London 2012 So close to the GOLD

The Iranian Ehsan HADDADI did not win the London Olympics 2012 (1-HARTING 68,27m 2-HADDADI 68,18m 3-KANTER 68,03m) but he may well have been the best thrower on the field this day and produced most of the longest throws. Unfortunately for him , the best of them which sailed close to the 70m line and would have been a winner , was ruled to be a foul . Probably a matter of few millimeters of shoe over the rim , but it did not escape the officials expert eyes and that was all the difference this time between GOLD and SILVER and the chance for Ehsan HADDADI to become the 1st Olympic champion of his country in athletics .This is the video and photo sequence analysis of this fouled throw which could have been a gold winning performance as for the coach , Ehsan's discus technique can be considered among the best and a model in the diverse phases of the throw with a constant look for Range of motion , Balance , Trunk torque , Speed transfer , Coordination and Rhythm.
