@cruisreal If you lost the Olympic Gold Medal to a guy who got caught with steriods TWICE, you would be pretty damn pissed...

I have been training for 4 months. My first throw was 9.37 with 16 pounds. Now I'm over my first trow for 3 metters. In 4 months. We are training in Puerto Rico, if you want to come we put you in form and you can do the intent of throwing like me.

Randy Barnes is a beast!! He definitely deserved that gold medal in 96. He just looks way more athletic and stronger than the rest of the competition. All I know is his world record still stands and he still has his Olympic gold! And guess what? You can say whatever you want about him, but you can’t do shit to take it away from him haha.

mullet notwithstanding, Barnes was a monster in shot. I remember watching a lot of him, Godina and Jim Doehring (even if he was a needle-fiend) when I threw in high school.

I'm 15, about to be 16 in like 5 days, and I can barely throw the 12 lb Shot like 20 feet... :/ But this was only my first year of Field Events. Last night was my last track meet for the year. I'm gonna try to get better at it tho. There's this one school that has some of the best coaches in the state, they got good form, they practice with 16 lb Shot Put, and they're coaches actually work with them. We don't got shit! Our coaches don't even work with us lol... My goal is to get better. :D :D :D

not a spinner, but after looking at this video his right leg is the culprit. His left leg however is perfect. He had good heal and toe alignment and he was closed on the power position, his spin wasn't very linear but hes a master of the rotational.

the high school shot is around 5.45k, not 5k. and i believe the thrower you're thinking of is walter henning

what is the weight of the shot you use to throw this 17.70 meters??

@TheBruiser012 To each their own man, I'm in high school and I feel more comfortable doing the glide. It's all about what the person wants to do. Just so i'm clear i'm not arguing with you, i'm sort of agreeing :)

some 17 y/o threw 19.xx meters at States... 5kg is the biggest shot in high school.

i gotta ask... and dont laugh cause i dont know but is 38.65 ft good for 15 y/o???

i bet

i got 10.20 and the record in the city is 12 lol and i am only 15

my best throw is 47 ft witha 12 lb shot maybe ill start spinning

To be honest, barnes should have all his medals stripped. Being caught with steroids twice is pathetic. Godina won gold in the shot put in the 1996 Olympics, not the steroid eater barnes.

@damnDworld 6lbs

i have 17 meters with the 4 kilos

lol omg hes 25 >.

he's not a sore losser. if you lost the gold medal on some guys last throw you would be just as upset as he was.

USA! USA! USA!

I throw like +30ft first yr as a girl

What a joke Randy Matson threw this far in 1972!@#!!!!!

16 pound

I got 16.94 ( with a 4kg shot) and I'm only 13 By the way I'm a GIRL !!!!

yea bullshit you throw 58 feet

Look at Barnes' left leg... That's the worst shot put technique I have ever seen. That shows that he really was on steorids also at the olympics 1996. Without steroids it's not possible to throw as far as he did.

You shoot nothing I throw the 16 pounds at 12.39 metters with 14 years. With the 12 pounds I throw 14.50. And I ain't the best of Puerto Rico.
