@JAVMAN right, I … @JAVMAN right, I think it was Tom Petranoff who had the American record in the hammer, but they shortened the wire to make it safer. Powell is Carol Cady’s dad, from when he was married to Meg Ritchie. That Scottish hammer coach in Oregon I think is Meg’s brother.
@SuperOlds88
OK, … @SuperOlds88
OK, obviously you don’t know what you’re talking about. The man in the video and talking is JOHN POWELL, 233′ 9″ thrower, 1975 World Record Holder, and a heck of a nice guy and teacher. Lance Deal is the American Record Holder in the HAMMER THROW at 270′ 9″. Lance did throw the discus at one time and was the 1980 Junion National champion (~190′), but focused on the hammer not too long after that.
@traxxxxxxas this … @traxxxxxxas this was early in their careers and they werent strong enough to get low yet. When I use to throw in college I use to have a chair in the back of the ring, I sat down and started my throw that way, worked great.
@ksstwildcats are … @ksstwildcats are you sure, I thought maybe the dude in the t-shirt was Plucknett, and the guy talking was Lance Deal, you know Deal has the American record in the discus at 270′, of a throw. Nobody has ever come close to it.
Thank you for … Thank you for posting this, my track coaches are idiots that don’t know technique, we get sweeped in throwing events all the time, hopefully this will help me change that.
the guy talking … the guy talking must be Mac Wilkins and the other guy in the white t-shirt is I think John Powell. I always thought Powell was alot bigger. That Wilkins is really something. KISS
it seems that these … it seems that these guys don’t get low over their right leg in power. my coach says to get low. he also said to get low at the beginning (like sitting in a chair).
