Men's Hammer Throw Final | World Athletics Championships Doha 2019

[@kevinroylancephotography9437]

Quarantine brought me to this channel. Been binging on World Athletics Championships from 2017 and now 2019. Getting to know all the athletes. Fajdek is the man.

[@RapIsDrug]

Mine uncontrolable thirst to know everything just a little bit brought me here. Quarantine is over for over a month over here but i'm just eating those videos up. Not that much into athletics lmao

Fajdek is insane! He rotates so quickly.

I don’t know jack shit about hammer throwing but I can easily spot out that Fadjek’s throwing form is nearly perfect.

Hammer is my fav Olympic sport. No disrespect to things like running or swimming, but the hammer (along with discus, javelin etc) seems so ancient, these men would have been kings bodyguards millennia ago

Hammer catcher=broken bones like that to being hit by a car could survive depending on location of impact Javelin catcher= getting impaled and watching as you bleed everywhere Depending on location mostly like hit an organ or artery most likely dead

[@TheOfficialCzex]

It's pretty easy to dodge them. You have a few seconds to gauge the trajectory, make an assumption, and get the fuck out of the way.

[@LogicJab]

Travis Dowling technically you wouldn’t bleed much until you removed the javelin

[@Gratia69]

Hahahaha, women's is half the weight!

[@ivonastrukar4715]

@@Gratia69 well it kinda balances out, as a heavier weight is bound to travel further.Also I notice that the men swing it slightly slower,due to it's higher weight.

[@carelhaasbroek1575]

@@ivonastrukar4715 nope , the mass of an object does not determine how far it will go (newtons second law). Only its velocity, release angle and gravity. The heavier mass only effects how much energy is required to reach the release velocity.

[@AB-ii5uy]

Harshavardhana B R. Almost - energy would not be the same as kinetic energy is proportional to mass. The mens’ will not be as affected by air resistance, but the difference is not significant.

[@Billybillybillyrocking]

Well they are also measured in meters so the highs and lows of each group is about 3 to 5 meters difference. I don't think women would ever want to compete against men.

[@owenmcquarrie586]

Muscle memory likely

[@bfg9000d1]

It's actually technique and practice. Attach a softball and rope together(yeah it's not the same as they got but it's close enough). Go out into an open field (baseball field if it's open enough(.. Start out slow and keep increasing your speed. You will find that you to can actually do the same minus the distance these guys get of course.

Practicing your turns and releases my guy until your able to speed them up but they do a lot of work on their releasing that’s why

[@weatherphobia]

@@owenmcquarrie586 There is no such thing as Muscle Memory, never was and never will. There are no neurons or any brain materials within human muscles. At best, it's your BRAIN memorizing movements and accuracy, but remember that's your BRAIN. If muscle memory were real, then you could 'train' a 30-year-old who never played baseball to be the best player in history in every category after only 5,000-9,999 hours. But we know it's your BRAIN plus other things that make great athletes, not Muscle Memory.

Throwing is actually something that humans absolutely dominate every other animal at, and not just because most animals don't have limbs that can properly grab objects. Even other great apes, which have way more raw strength than humans, can't throw things nearly as far because their body structure simply can't transfer enough power and speed to a thrown object.

[@DCGloto]

Top records are from guys from Soviet Union in the 80s. Rodchenkov in his book writes that they were huge steroids abusers. Dark ages of PEDs testing.

[@saragrant9749]

The world record was also set at a time when drug testing was just starting to make its presence felt. Many of us know in our hearts that it’s very likely a tainted record, but there’s nothing to be done about it at this point- much like many running records from the 1970’s and 1980’s that still stand.

[@nupur13]

Is it just me or did Bigot of France threw ahead of Halasz in his second attempt.? Watch from 10:50 to 10:59 in slow motion. You can clearly see that Bigot's throw lands ahead of the silver medal mark.

[@dilantl7603]

Hmm you’re right, that’s weird

[@nupur13]

@HW_Throws So you mean to say that the silver medal line should've been ahead of where Bigot's throw landed.?

[@fmulder6564]

If anyone else is wondering what's up with the remote controlled cars, apparently they are used to carry the hammer back to the start after they are thrown.

[@saragrant9749]

That’s exactly correct. They can do it faster- and safer- than a person and it keeps the number out in the impact area to a manageable amount.

[@Reaperfalll]

So if you Pause at 6:48 is the net wrongly placed? And why are those reporters sitting directly in the direction of the throw...

[@saragrant9749]

It actually isn’t. The gate on one side (the opposite side from the direction they rotate) sits inside the sector line at a specific angle. In terms of the reporters? Because it isn’t here in the U.S. here, we would NEVER allow them to sit in that spot. It’s literally a suicidal position to be in and honestly a stupid idea.

Sports name : Hammer throw .... This sports definition : Throw a ball which is stick with chain .....

[@saragrant9749]

The name is derived from a very old implement of war called a "hammerketch". It was a ball with a long chain that would be thrown by a catapult. Later, they started to use a cannon to launch it. Someone had the idea to add a handle and throw it... hence "hammer throw."

[@PersonOfBook]

Eh believe it or not it's shotputters. Keep in mind you have alot of time to accelerate the hammer compared to throwing a shotput. These guys are a bit more explosive and stable than shotputters but not nearly as strong because it's not necessary

[@saxyvi]

Imagine if a hammer, discus, or javelin hits a runner while going around the track. 😮

[@saragrant9749]

It has actually happened unfortunately. It’s exactly the reason why most college track facilities either have the longer throwing events outside the track in adjacent fields or hold them before the running starts. Shot out quite often is in the infield, sometimes javelin but hammer and discus are usually NEXT to the track, angled away.

[@charlesnguyen6510]

AND STILL!!

[@fierceapes]

Can someone explain to me why some of them purposely red-flag them self, what is the strategy behind that?

[@kevinloz84]

Sometimes when the athlete knows a throw isn’t an improvement they’ll purposefully foul so the officials don’t have to waste time measuring it, since only the best throw from each athlete counts.

[@kk-op6qg]

how is this called hammer?

[@johnbarron4265]

The name "hammer throw" is a historical artifact from medieval times. The earliest form of the sport involved strong men hurling chariot wheels by the axle. Then it evolved into throwing heavy stones attached to wooden handles. Then throwing sledgehammers. Then in the 1800s the English standardized the sport by introducing a 16 lb iron ball attached to a steel wire attached to a grab handle, which is still the implement being used today.

[@junkyushuports1004]

Where’s Koji Murofushi?

[@sca8217]

It's curious how in this game the men aren't much ahead of the women in terms of throw distance. Something about pirouetting on one's feet that the ladies are just better at, taking away some of that brute force advantage for guys. Edit: Never mind. Checked some of the other comments.

[@freddyfredrickson]

Why are there nets? Oh that's right, so no one get clobbered by the cannonball on the end of that string...

[@saragrant9749]

That is precisely the reason why. Those gates and the very tall cage are purpose designed to (attempt anyway) to keep everyone safe. It’s not perfect and accidents can still happen occasionally (this coming from someone who has been struck by a women’s 4k hammer!). You have to be aware at all times, focused intently.
