A truly great yet under appreciated sport
This technique is beautiful
Mhaygood93 More like hilarious.... 😂
So proud to be Estonian back then when Gerd Kanter won gold, and also this year when Kanter took home bronze. Very proud :)
Congratulations to our lovely Estonian neighbors! Gerd deserved to have more of the victories with his physics, but the competition was surprisingly tough! Glad to have Alekna blood on the scene anyway:)
if you dont scream the disc is slower
Well you gotta scream because naturally, your body makes more CO2 when you work out and if you don't release that CO2, then your not getting the full potential of your workouts. That's why whenever you work out, people always say breathe or control your breathing.
i think that a launch do not produce enough CO2 to force the athlete to scream, even if it's a pure lattacid movement. I think it's only a psichologic acion, or maybe linked to the high contraction of abdomen muscle, the valsalva manoeuvre, or maybe the aggressivity of the scream stimulates the release of adrenaline, i dunno, i'm only study for athletics exam, and the prof never speak about "screams". Sorry for the bad english
+TheDarThaum Imagine being in a stage with thousands of people, and your family and friends, and other countrymen are watching you perform at the highest level. You're also on some PEDs, and naturally emotional. That's more than likely what causes it.
screaming adds 20 horsepower
everyone knows that
Lorenzo Pintus I think they scream because they get more stronger and more hyped for the throwing without them they won’t have the action or will to do it.
1:25 my face after i saw my exam marks
Very nice
Good job
A monster day!
Men: Discus--2kg, Shot Put and Hammer--7.26kg, Javelin--600g
Women: Discus--1kg, Shot Put and Hammer--4kg, Javelin--800g
Is it customary to make noises after you throw? Are they each saying something in their respective languages or are they just grunting because they nearly died throwing that thing?
They put so much effort into throwing it, its almost impossible not to scream/shout.
U are suppose to scream if u get a good throw in....like saying why do NBA players flex every time they dunk??
0:59 funniest scream ever lol
+Alexandria Faber allahuakbaarrrrr
Alexandria Faber it doesant matter how they scream , just release the air somehow
Gerd KANTER, CONGRATULATIONS! 😍❤️💯👏🥇🇪🇪
Nice programr
I like sports
If you guys can read, their distance is measured in meters, not feet.
Thanks captain obvious.
Discus men the video said, okay CZcams comments, some pretty impressive throws those guys are doing
Lemparan yang sangat bagus + Kencang
Woooowww,,keren👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yes but once you get into highschool people start lifting weights more and doing more serious weighted resistance training.
alekna is great
i like
only three have thrown over 72m Fabricio? what is the US record? i think you will find ir is over 72m by a thrower not on your list...And there is another over 72m not on IAAF list either, five in total.
супер
@jacquibeanstalk i think you mean 27? :-)
2018
Schult,Plucknet, Powell, Wilkins,Alekna,Kanter all 72+
Final ..yo avía leído ( fail ) estaba esperando el momento en que se calleran o tiraran el disco al público ...que decepción mi dislexia
1st 2nd and 3rd placing are pretty close! i was expecting someone to cross 70m during the mee =x
she ran 13 seconds before
yer hard cuzino
@jacquibeanstalk There are like 3 people in history that ever threw 72m =)
It's all fun and games until someone gets smacked with a discus
Is there a weight difference between the men's and women's discus?? It seems strange that both genders tend to throw the same distances...
yes.1kg for women and 2kg for men
Damn
them*
Burly men screaming at flying saucers
Gerd won gold to Estonia
Dude, that looks hard as heck to do. I would probably throw it badly and pop someone in the face...
Vikash gauda won gold medal in olympic 2014 :-)
Ashwani Kumar Are you sure it was Olympic in 2014? LOL
then maybe in 2015-LOL
Am i on pace to be an olympian? I recently finished my 7th grade track season and my personal record is 101.6 ft. Am i good or bad? Please everybody who reads this, post your records and age.
how far u throw now
Im in grade 9 (14YO) and I throw 1kg 147 feet
I'm in 8th grade and I threw 163 in practice today
małachowski!!
Im sorry what about next time
I would seriously bet all my money that Neanderthals would destroy us in Olympics
Roryyy Mercury doubtful. They likely had limited shoulder mobility compared to us. They also weighed less and had a smaller arm span than these guys. Their strength also tends to be greatly exaggerated by a lot of sources. And they have none of the technique or practice Olympians have
zero98ify there goes all my money
@@roryyymercury8709 kiss
gerd kanter is da best xD
Alekna will be 1st in London, I'm sure
DominykaLietuva wrong again
1:00 WTF WAS THAT???!!! XD
virgiligus Alekna is the best discus thrower in the world
0:59 "allah akbar' ?????
Why are they screaming when they throw XD
I had my first track meet yesterday and got 41 ft 😂
that's pretty good for a schoolgirl
Nikhil Gowda .H.V
My friend is really good though. She gets about 55-60 feet every time. She always makes it to top 5
Are u serious?
I throw 144 ft :D
Arne Vanderborght Nice
Helena I my country i am the best of my age in Discus Throw (i'm 13y) (Belgium)
ima be honest but I'm in 7th grade and I throwed 97 feet on my first game and came in first
+cesar zavala sorry but assuming you are a guy in 7th grade the discus are girls discus in high school and get heavier in college and so on. And its a meet not a game.
+cesar zavala lol, in case you didn't notice everything is measured in meters in this, not feet. Meaning the best throw was just over 225ft. And the disc is 4.4 pounds meaning it's double of what you throw. Not to burst your bubble.......BUT 97 feet is really good for a 7th grader and if you keep on going I'm sure you can go great lengths and maybe even compete professionally if that's what path you wanna take??
These guys are right, but well done. Congratulations. Keep at it dude.
효도르가 왜 저깄냐
wow.. my friend should be in the olympics haha he can throw 72m? i think
I think ur friend had thrown 1kg discuss 😂
I got hit by a discus. Fun times
grunting does wokr my best was 64 and the first time i did a big grunt i got 127
sillybillyk12345678910 I know from experience that grunting does work, but it doesn’t double your distance.
Nyasar gw
@santeenl mm no 72 (:
@negrasindenas Dude, he's getting way to old...
fuuuunnnnnnnn!!!!
next time i will beat tham :)
Wow😂
This isn't even funny. My best is like 54.4. Feet. Oh well I'm 12 I'll figure it out. Someday
Theses are in meters not feet
panamera I think he realizes this.
Why the hell are they screaming like that!
Because it makes the disc fly better.
U are suppose to scream if u get a good throw in....like saying why do NBA players flex every time they dunk??
Alluh Akbar 0:59
