Comments

1. Ulf breaking the record by almost 1.5 feet in '85, incredible.
2. that 90's quality
3. So 1990 is about when they started spinning instead of sliding?
4. If these guys were doping or not it doesn't matter. In my opinion the technique was better back then compared to how it is now. Barnes and Oldfield had the best speed and technique.
5. It's not fair, we know probably all this guys are doped as fuck, but we can't check it. Nowadays people are probably also doped and we ban them, but how can they achieve these doped performances? They have to train way harder in a fair way to get even close..
6. I was better at discus. not great but better than I was at shot. Farthest discus for me was 130ft in high school. and my farthest shot put was only like 40' or somethin like that.... haha
7. i won 1 first place all Ireland and im only 12
8. My dad Gil Ueber , broke the World record in 1961- And my uncle Phil Unter , broke the World record in 1962...
9. Diggin' this vid. There is nothing like AC/DC and throwing, nirvana, paradise whatever you wanna call it!
10. My high school shot put record of 53' 8" still stands after 50 years, at The Charles Wright Academy in Tacoma WA. Set in 1965 with a 12 lb shot, it looks like child's play next to these super-jock brutes in action!
11. All Doping !
12. I got 98ft once
13. So, the progression stopped in 1990. How come?
14. Quite impressive Manne! Is he still alive?
15. Got Bexley championships coming up next week. I have got 7.06meters and beat everyone at my sports day by 1.50 meters. I'm 12 and never ever had thrown a stop put before
16. Just pure water and tomatoes...!
17. My dad Bill Nieder, broke the World's record in 1960
