Shot Put World Record Progression

[@aposto1979-t8q]

It's amazing to see how the 200m world record has evolved over the decades. The advancements in training, technology, and sheer athleticism are mind-blowing. This video really puts into perspective how far we've come in track and field.

WHERE did Charlie Fonville come from? Where in heck is TCH?!

[@evoluing]

Hey there! Thanks for the question! Charlie Fonville was an incredible American shot putter who really left his mark on the sport in the late 1940s. He was born in Birmingham, Alabama, but he grew up in Detroit, Michigan. As for TCH, I can totally see how that might be confusing! TCH actually stands for "Tchécoslovaquie," which is the French word for Czechoslovakia. This abbreviation was commonly used in international sports records, especially back in the day when French was more widely used as the language of record in international athletics. So, to sum it up: Charlie Fonville came from the USA, and TCH is just the French way of saying Czechoslovakia. Hope that clears it up! Thanks for watching!

@@evoluing Thanks, but that doesn't explain why in the video it says Fonville was Czech!

[@GreatestOfSportsOfficial]

​@@evoluingI can see because it looks great. But what software did you use?

[@GreatestOfSportsOfficial]

@@MariaPapachatzi-j4p how do you know? With Flourish you can customize the HTLM of the Content on Hover and get something similar. But YT creators are al very secretive on their toolbox

90% Americans!!!

The college (university) system would have a lot do with it. Another factor of course is that the US has around 326 million people and a per capital Gross Domestic Product of around $58,000. This means that there’s a big bag of money that can be allocated to athlete development, compared with many other countries.
