Sedykh together with Sergey Litvinov we’re the two greatest hammer throwers to ever grace this sport. The only two throwers to ever surpassed the 86m mark. Thank you for the memories. RIP both.

83.94-85.28-85.46-86.74-86.68-86.62 What an incredible series of throws

Rest in peace Sedyhk You are the greatest hammer thrower ever.

Whos here from eddie hall 😂

Just watched some recent competitions, they don't have such flawless technique. This is incredible

THE BEAST IS COMIN!

Super commentary by Stuart Storey and Ron Pickering

I was a 2 time All-American in Hammer and |I had the great honor of watching Sedykh throw at some practices back in the day. As a hammer thrower, I was in awe of him and his flawless technique. I always wished I could rise to a level that was close to his, but it was not to be. He was and always will be, my idol in the hammer world.

What a sick series of throws,an average of 85m,todays throwers barely throw 83m

This is the priceless hammer throw video! Exellent job! Nobody has such tehnique like Yuri and Sergei!

Had to watch this again today (for what seems like the 3,000th time). RIP.

What a great competition. Sedykh was just showing off on that last throw, almost matching his world record from, like, 20 minutes earlier. Incredible technique, getting that power off of three spins instead of four.

This world record will not be broken for atleast another 25 years. Take my word!

he has the farthest throw in history and a nice guy too. I remember being introduced to him by my Dad, Harold Connolly, the greatest hammer thrower who ever lived! Have a nice day. Mark Connolly

the GOAT of the event. RIP Yuri

He has the right number on his shirt for doing this.

Juri Sedykh + Hammer = THE GENIUS , PROFESSOR AND LEGEND!!! Rest In Peace! And Thank You All What You Made!!! 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹👏👏👏👏👏👏

Incredible series of throws. And serious stupidity on those photographers- if his hammer had broken (which does occur) there would have been a swath of fatalities. You'd never see that allowed today!!

as a former Weightlifter i always had great admiration and respect for all this athletes...but Sedikh was out of this galaxy..doped or not...

I have watched this video more than 100x, and it never gets old. That WR throw makes the left foot look like he’s moon walking like Michael Jackson. RIP GOAT

I never tire of watching this. Ever. I used the cybergenics video of Sedykh to teach myself to throw in college at a small school. Ended up all american and still have school record from 1991, altho don't ask how far cause it wasn't a world beater. Still proud of it. Great memories. Also, this reminded me he was from Ukraine. He's my all-time hero of any sport.

Ich glaube,so eine Serie kriegt keiner mehr hin.Unfassbar!

sedykh said it was his favorite throw ever and that the fact it was 6cm shorter meant nothing.. to him, it was exactly the same..

Those photographers were insane. If of the throwers had let go prematurely, it would have been like a cannon ball rocketing through about 10 photographers. Instant death.

Is impressive how he was improving his mark in every throw

Beautiful technician. And the Pommie commentary is almost as brilliant.

Wow!!the speed and technique is amazing.It must take years of practice to get anywhere near this level 👍.After all these years this record still stands ,it just shows that as humans it is impossible to physically throw further ,same in the javelin and discus,these records could never be broken!!The only reason the 100 m was smashed was because Bolt was almost a freak of nature with his massive stride etc.We need a Hulk type figurd to smash these long-standing records!!!

I was there this day.....jaw dropping performance

I'd give anything to have been there to see it with my own eyes.

love the commentator really professional

He was an absolute machine!!!

Who’s here after watching Eddie hall 😂

Would have been good to see the last throw on here because it was another classic-86.62, again just short of his own WR. Best hammer competition ever.

I remember watching this live, much more interesting than track events.

I was 6 when this flexing of titans was going on...unreal

great video!!! yuri with an 86.74 and an 86.68 back to back, simply amazing

incredibile!!! thanks for the video :)

The top guys today could use with cutting some weight and focusing on speed and technique. Sedykh is so fast and precise.

R.I.P. Champion

Ah yes, a fellow Fury Warrior. A man of culture.

@MrHav1k yes... Sedkyh told me that he tried 4 turns but it was just as far as when he did 3.. more consistent with 3

"After we had injected his sample into our Hewlett-Packard machine, an alarm sounded and it became so contaminated with stanozolol metabolites that the next few samples spat out false positives even when we knew there were no steroids present . . . we called this the Sedykh effect."

This was a kickass competition... Make me wana go out and throw something!

Yeah the 86,68 throw looks alot more perfect than the previous throw, but I assume, as you said, that when you throw a world record your body will begin to slow down and get exhausted :P

Qué fortaleza física!! Tremendos!

Parabéns!!!!!! o video é fantástico!!!!!!

who is here from eddie's channel ?

hero of the hammer throw perfect skilled The great thrower

@turb05 I agree, but it is also a testament to how freakin good these guys were.

hammer throw i've never actually watched it at all but its fuckin awesome

@jmm121884 did youri have any sponsors like adidas

You can tell he's at home in the hammer circle when he even sweeps it clean

R.I.P Juri

RIP Youri

sedykh's shorts still make me laugh :D

Cómo lanzador de martillo que fui pude experimentar toda la euforia que uno experimenta a la hora de realizar un lanzamiento ver este vídeo del récord mundial más antiguo y ver al gran Yuri Sedyk realizarlo me trae muchos recuerdos de mi epoca

I would like to know that too. Why they just throw the hammer just 80m or maybe 82 m?

@ColonelVagner It was like 83-84 meters I believe I would have liked to seen it but I dont have it

Indeed:) And then you find out we're talking about almost 30 years ago!

That looks so fun spinning in a circle xD

this would literally be perfect with that shooting star song he spins so fast

Love the 80s

I didn't mean specifically his age, I meant generally "your age is a bit of a problem" as in "anybodys age is a bit of a problem, if you are too old when you start". Sorry, a bit indistinct statement.

How did they not dislocate there knees

Watching this clip after the Beijing throws, just makes me wanna cry... not only are they in a league of their own in terms of length, but also in terms of consistency. Great video!

nice to see it was off three turns... Means I could still Become a good hammer thrower if I do 3 turns and not caring to do 4.

rip youri

how do they know when and how to let go

Yes Iam. but I see it just the attemps with no sound its another feeling to see it with sound :)

@ColonelVagner It was 86.62.

Doesn't anyone know what the name of the commentator is? Thanks.

A yard is 0.91 meter, so it's about 9 cm shorter. A yard is exactly 3 feet

بقي هادا الرقم القياسي العالمي الي يومنا هادا

Hahahaha....er war wie eine Apoteke!! Von kopf bis fuss --doping!!

It's amazing what performance enhancing drugs can do for you. I refuse to believe this is a clean record no one has come close really since. With his HGH ball headed ass

From your post and your name it sounds like you are Sergei's Son. You dont have this?

I don't know about that. The junior top ten with 7,26kg hasn't been changed since Olli-Pekka Karjalainen's 78,33 in 1999. But who did you have in mind?

I dont know... make the hammer lighter?

mm no. it was basically down the middle.. the only issue in the throw was that his double support push was rushed on the second turn. sedykh is the one who says this.

Yuri, the best hammer thrower in the world!!!

@willanger26 I don't think you'd have to go homw, she's probably watching?

@ohedd BOMB. Thanks man

Way too many people commenting "steroids" on here. Want to know the truth? The truth is that there are many athletes that are way stronger than Sedykh ever was. This sport could allow people to use steroids with no testing and athletes would still fall way short of his world record. Hammer throw is not about being the strongest. You need enough strength to control the speed and propel the hammer. The rest is technique and skill. You have to be smart in this sport. Steroids my ass. If you think this guy is on steroids, or think that steroids would even make much of a difference in this sport. I am sorry, but you don't know jack about hammer throw. Trolls.

still standing

Human centrifuge

I am big fan of sir yuri sedykh because absolutely I am hammer thrower

He turned into a cartoon near the end of his first throw

Yeah, pretty big! 80,55 when he was 20 :P

How do hammer throwers not kill like 6 people with every throw

craazy men

Hahaha I love this!!

@JxAxRxRxExTxT with his power thats a good number for him

What a cannon

im 15 and threw the the 4kg hammer 44m a year ago dont train alot and only do 1 spin i was in a comp yesterday and had to throw 5kg for the first time and only threw 25m its crazy how 1kg makes a big difference

Я тренировался у Сергеева Сергея Сергеевича в Тольятти.

6:10 6:12 7:57

a real porche :)
