          Stephan Holm in Sweden. He is one of the smallest jumpers, yet jumps well over his own height.

          Two great jumpers compete. Limited slow motion. Great competition between Mike and Carl.

          Javelin - Jan Zelezny 92 meters
          This series of throws really shows how fast Jan is on the runway, and how hard he hits the throw.

          Excellent slow motion view from the left side of the runway. World Record.
          Javelin - Jan Zelezny, 83m (1.4M download)
          From an early round at the 1995 world championships. An excellent view of the throwing pattern from the right side.
          Hammer - Balasz Kiss, 79m (1.4M download)
          Note how the angle of the hammer increases with each turn.
          Discus - Wolfgang Schmidt 66m (1M download)
          One of the top throwers from the 1980's. Good slow motion video illustrating the turn.
          Discus - Lars Riedel 69m (1.7M download)
          A good example of a discus thrower who throws with a minimal reverse.
          Discus - Suzy Powell 64m (700K download)
          A good view from the front of the turn, foot placement, and aggression.
          Shot Put - Ulf Timmerman 21m (950K download)
          Arguably one of the best glide shot putters of all time. 1988 Olympic Champion.
          Shot Put - Adam Nelson 20m (1M download)
          A good example of a spin technique. Adam is smaller than other putters (6', 255lbs).
          Triple Jump - Jonathan Edwards, 18.29m (730K download)
          For all you jumpers, this is as good as it gets. Note the even-rhythm of each phase of the jump.
