    im pretty sure you …
    im pretty sure you only have to stay in the ring until the discus lands, then you can leave out the back whilst doing a cartwheel without stopping if you want . And i dont think its a foul if you lose an item of clothing or jewlerry etc.

    Once you step into …
    Once you step into the ring you cant leave the ring untill youve thrown and come to a complete stop else its a foul. If your wearing sunglasses or a necklace and they fly out its a foul too.
    The spinning at the end of the throw is called a switch release, Ive been using a blocking release. I think WR have been thrown with both but im working on getting my switch down.

    Not disqualified I wouldn’t say, but your throw will be a foul.

    Yea, you can’t step out of the circle or else you would be disqualified.

    can they not step out of the circle? looks like they spin to stop the momentum from taking them out

    Don’t worry, i’m not accusing you of anything haha.

    Be carefull with training everyday I train everyday and i got an inflamintion of the bicep because of it. Specially with discuss.

  14. f1uckingretard says:

    Yeah, from Kanter’s …
    Yeah, from Kanter’s number towards the end of the season (aside from that one near-70m day he had), it looked like he was not in the best form of his life… That said, it’s a long season and sometimes it takes a toll even on the best out there. And yeah, I was watching the live feed when Harting came back on Malachowski, practically my pants! Couldn’t believe it. Well deserved on his part!

  15. f1uckingretard says:

    40m with a 2k at 16 …
    40m with a 2k at 16 is pretty darn good! Sophomore or junior? Can I safely assume you’re beyond 45m with the high school disc? Keep on training hard, but remember it’s still Fall so don’t focus too much on distances right now as much as honing your technique and doing weight training. It’ll all come in time.

  16. TheNgNow says:

    atm im 16 lol but i …
    atm im 16 lol but i train everyday like these guys and this isnt a lie :P i aint 1 of those liers… ull see im ganna put some videos up within a few months

  20. TheGODofThe15Era says:

    That’s awesome, 40 …
    That’s awesome, 40 meters is really good with a 2k, my PB is 49m with a 1.6k I’ve never tried a 2k.
    I’ll look forward on seeing you in a competition in the future, I’m seventeen and started throwing this year, I also train every day :)

  21. TheNgNow says:

    haha nice comparison :P ehm well im still young but i train everyday and hopefully in 2016 i can compete if not in 2020 (jbtw my youtube age isnt my real age :P ) im at 40 ish meters with 2k discus, so not bad for a start :P

  22. TheGODofThe15Era says:

    Agreed
    Man 54m in …

    Agreed
    Man 54m in the first year is like having a 12inch dick being a baby, of course it’s impossible, it takes years of practice to be as good as the guys in this video, not one year!

    good God, kanter absolutely explodes at the end.
