I bet nobody ever will beat this with glide technique. That will be a record forever. Doesn't matter if it was on dope, everybody did it at that time in my opinion. Great Performance! Ulf the best ever!
I saw the 88 Oly SP final. It was awesome. Ulf was leading. barnes came out of nowhere. Ulf had 1 throw left, and he uncorked everything. That s true sportsman (warrior), who finds that extra bit to come back when down.
Ulf timmerman the best traditional shot putter ever, extremely fast and explosive. With werner gunthor and Andrei Alessandro the best old scool Shot putter
No matter how drugged up anyone is, throwing22m+ is not brute strength, it has technical skill and dedication, also the playing field was leveled back then due to the heavy steroid use of ALL the countries , in short, if throwing 23m was easy with steroids, it would've been done across the board many many times. Acknowledge the drug use but don't discredit the skill.
Was cool to see that. Thanks. College in the early 80s , at least half our throwers were doping on some level. All but one were not gifted throwers though. Routinely saw guys out do stronger throwers. Its a gift, like any sport, and if ya train your ass off, and your gifted well Ulf was one. Maybe those dopers would still have been world class without it, dont know.
His glide is one of the most beautiful movements in all of sports. The perfect combination of power and speed.
