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.
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.
@@TheDrewpdog The hammer throw is not about being the strongest; you need enough strength to control the speed and propel the hammer, yes, but the majority of it is technique. And Sedykh had flawless technique.
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.
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!!
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
Thank You John Coleman. I'm half Irish and glad to hear I count! Mom was from Czechoslovakia and Dad from Boston, Massachusetts. They met (and incidentally both struck Gold) at the Melbourne Olympics in 1956.
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.
Maybe never. Due to the Soviet sports juggernaut, he was basically a professional hammer thrower, and could devote all his time to it. Even a lot of world class throwers today need a regular day job.
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.
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!!!
"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."
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.
the truth is probably that there are lots of athletes that could have trailed to do this but they just dont because in america we dont talk about hammer throw. Think lebron james or bo jackson could throw?
Nah bullshit is Koji was roided he'd throw further Ivan tsikhan was roided and threw 86.60 is pawel was roided he'd throw 86 plus don't give me that bullshit being roided allows you to train more and be more explosive therefore allowing your technique to also get better cuz you can train more don't be defending drug cheats
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
Incredibile vedere l'atleta che si spazza da solo la pedana con la granata di saggina, poi i fotografi davanti alla gabbia e incredibile anche l'antidoping. Entrambi se ne sono andati anzitempo per problemi di cuore.
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
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!
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.
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.
Sedykh told me to my face that he has thrown 87 and change in practice... practice pr something like 87.80... Litvinov is rumored to have done 90 in practice.
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 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?
Out of all the remaining 1980's world records I'd say this has the 2nd highest probability of being drug free after Stefka Kostadinova's Women's High Jump record. There's a very interesting article about this if you search for '86.74 is going to stand for a long time'.
this man is unbelievable... say what you want about drugs, but you can see the difference between him and nowadays throwers... his technique is out of this world, his rotations are faster, he's tighter, he even looks like athlete, not some fat-ass piece of truck... you can use as much of drugs as you want, you can make doping use legal, I'm telling you this record would survive next 30 years
83.94-85.28-85.46-86.74-86.68-86.62
What an incredible series of throws
Wr only 86.74m after 36 years !
so much steroids in their body
Rest in peace Sedyhk
You are the greatest hammer thrower ever.
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.
🎉
Just watched some recent competitions, they don't have such flawless technique. This is incredible

THE BEAST IS COMIN!
Ye
Maybe if he was a bit more hydrated
I watched this with my dad on TV, 12 years old. I'll never forget it when he said "That was a world record!" with a smirk on his face.
What a sick series of throws,an average of 85m,todays throwers barely throw 83m
+evilTaker90V2 harder to get away with taking drugs these days.
+TheDrewpdog got eem
also you need to watch his technique though, it's flawless
@@TheDrewpdog Hasn't been replicated in the following years although drugs were still prevalent 🤷🏻♂️
@@TheDrewpdog The hammer throw is not about being the strongest; you need enough strength to control the speed and propel the hammer, yes, but the majority of it is technique. And Sedykh had flawless technique.
This is the priceless hammer throw video! Exellent job! Nobody has such tehnique like Yuri and Sergei!

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...
Nah he's doped Koji is the best hammer thrower to me cuz he was clean
@@aaronaustin9814 Yeah my grandma also is best thrower cuz shes not doped.
@@aaronaustin9814 is just your opinion ...

Greetings from Ireland my fellow Irishman.
🇮🇪☘️🇺🇸
Thank You John Coleman. I'm half Irish and glad to hear I count! Mom was from Czechoslovakia and Dad from Boston, Massachusetts. They met (and incidentally both struck Gold) at the Melbourne Olympics in 1956.
Ich glaube,so eine Serie kriegt keiner mehr hin.Unfassbar!
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
Super commentary by Stuart Storey and Ron Pickering
the GOAT of the event. RIP Yuri
Phenomenal Across The Circle !

This world record will not be broken for atleast another 25 years. Take my word!
@Zelim Can't disagree.
Maybe never. Due to the Soviet sports juggernaut, he was basically a professional hammer thrower, and could devote all his time to it. Even a lot of world class throwers today need a regular day job.
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..
Is impressive how he was improving his mark in every throw
Whos here from eddie hall 😂
Lmaoooo yo! 😂😂💪🏻
Ehhhh yup hahahaha me too
🤣 yeah straight here from Eddie.
😂😂😂😂Yup
Me too 😂
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!!! 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹👏👏👏👏👏👏
Had to watch this again today (for what seems like the 3,000th time). RIP.
R.I.P. Champion
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.
Litvinov at 85.75m
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!!!
the record stands because of modern day drug testing. all these guys back then were using anabolic steroid drugs
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.
Must've ran out of VHS tape.
I was there this day.....jaw dropping performance
You know you were great when your record outlives you.
I'd give anything to have been there to see it with my own eyes.
love the commentator really professional
great video!!! yuri with an 86.74 and an 86.68 back to back, simply amazing
"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."
بقي هادا الرقم القياسي العالمي الي يومنا هادا

And perfect angle, he is like Zelezny. Perfect angle and technique.

I remember watching this live, much more interesting than track events.
Beautiful technician. And the Pommie commentary is almost as brilliant.
I was 6 when this flexing of titans was going on...unreal
Ah yes, a fellow Fury Warrior. A man of culture.
He was an absolute machine!!!
The top guys today could use with cutting some weight and focusing on speed and technique. Sedykh is so fast and precise.
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
Who’s here after watching Eddie hall 😂
hammer throw i've never actually watched it at all but its fuckin awesome
Incredibile vedere l'atleta che si spazza da solo la pedana con la granata di saggina, poi i fotografi davanti alla gabbia e incredibile anche l'antidoping. Entrambi se ne sono andati anzitempo per problemi di cuore.
who is here from eddie's channel ?
You can tell he's at home in the hammer circle when he even sweeps it clean
R.I.P Juri
@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
RIP Youri
incredibile!!! thanks for the video :)
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
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!
This was a kickass competition... Make me wana go out and throw something!
Indeed:) And then you find out we're talking about almost 30 years ago!
And still the world record...35 years and counting
hero of the hammer throw perfect skilled The great thrower
Yuri, the best hammer thrower in the world!!!
sedykh's shorts still make me laugh :D
A yard is 0.91 meter, so it's about 9 cm shorter.
A yard is exactly 3 feet
How did they not dislocate there knees
rip youri
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.
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.
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.
@turb05 I agree, but it is also a testament to how freakin good these guys were.
Previous 86.66m
Never failed a drug test lol.
Sedykh told me to my face that he has thrown 87 and change in practice... practice pr something like 87.80... Litvinov is rumored to have done 90 in practice.
It was 87.90. This was not long after his WR IIRC. Then he took a year off from top level throwing but never came back in the same shape as before.
How do hammer throwers not kill like 6 people with every throw
Sedykh, sí no recuerdo mal, llegó a hacer una marca de ¡86'74!
this would literally be perfect with that shooting star song he spins so fast
Well, now we know who took down the twin towers.
3:20 His number is 911. Coincidence?
@@hardware199 I think not, his real name must be bush
His legs are like tree trunks. I wonder how much he squatted.
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
reach to 87 m !
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?
Human centrifuge
Yes Iam. but I see it just the attemps with no sound its another feeling to see it with sound :)
I agree lol THAT is the god of hammer throw and i could confidently say no one is ever going to come close to the class that Sedykh produced
Hahahaha....er war wie eine Apoteke!! Von kopf bis fuss --doping!!
He turned into a cartoon near the end of his first throw
I am big fan of sir yuri sedykh because absolutely I am hammer thrower
Doesn't anyone know what the name of the commentator is? Thanks.
I was wondering the same thing, so I did some research and think it might be David Coleman.
The late great Ron Pickering.
Ikr he was awesome so sad to find out he's dead :(
Out of all the remaining 1980's world records I'd say this has the 2nd highest probability of being drug free after Stefka Kostadinova's Women's High Jump record. There's a very interesting article about this if you search for '86.74 is going to stand for a long time'.
Love the 80s
Sedykh threw the 6kg hammer 96meters and the 5kg hammer 105meters after he sat the world record with the 7.26kg hammer.
Very sick.
Wait really? Where can I find the info about this?
this man is unbelievable... say what you want about drugs, but you can see the difference between him and nowadays throwers... his technique is out of this world, his rotations are faster, he's tighter, he even looks like athlete, not some fat-ass piece of truck... you can use as much of drugs as you want, you can make doping use legal, I'm telling you this record would survive next 30 years
Another 30 years. Shoot it already has been over 35 years...
I would like to know that too. Why they just throw the hammer just 80m or maybe 82 m?
@jmm121884 did youri have any sponsors like adidas
6:10 6:12 7:57
83.94
85.28
85.46
86.74 WR
86.68
86.62
Funny how back then they were throwing 85 + every throw and now over 25 years later they struggle to throw 75!
both
RIP
That looks so fun spinning in a circle xD
6:10 for first record :D
7:50 for second :D :D
Oh course it does. you dont have to be huge like cantwell or alekna to be a good hammer thrower. Litvinov was only 5'10 215lbs. Sedykh 6'1 230.
Speed is power...
Qué fortaleza física!! Tremendos!
6:07
Savage he's much smaller than the guys today
@ColonelVagner It was like 83-84 meters I believe I would have liked to seen it but I dont have it
