my son is starting college level shot-put and hammer. He said the footwork for hammer is tough to learn. It looks smooth only because these guys are great at it! The best in the world!

I wonder how many injuries or deaths have occurred over the years to the judges standing out there. I remember the one judge that took a javelin to the shoulder. Ouch!

So uh Everybody here is commenting on the guy screaming, I'm thinking about those guys who're all the way down at the end of the field standing just a few feet away from the 16-lb iron ball of splattering your brains onto the ground. I mean I'm sure they're standing at a safe distance, but...
