Major salute to the Throws University Team capturing this historical meet🫡
Thank you. It was an awesome experience!
And don't forget the 73,08m of Yaime Perez in the same competition. WOW !!! Great camera views thanks a lot for that !
The WR is in itself really, really impressive, but getting 6 throws over 70 meters is absolutely incredible.
The KID is an absolute legend already!
Wind aided
@@flexking4800 have you watched the very last bit where the man says that the wind wasn't that strong that day? AS well, as far as I know, the previous world record for discus throw was set in similar conditions.
@@tomasbajarunas6416 Not just about strength of wind. It's clear conditions were very favourable - look at Perez's huge throw. This is what it took to produce the WR: an amazing talent who was in spectacular form who caught a great day to be throwing with ideal wind. Finally the record has fallen and I'm glad it has because frankly I don't trust the records of that era, whereas I'm quite confident that Mykolas is an honest athlete. On the women's side, it's quite possible that Perez now owns the "real" WR. I wonder if Mykolas is the sort of talent who, given a few more years to reach his peak, could throw 74+ in stadium conditions.
Father was close and Son finished 😅 mission accomplished. I really thought Jürgens Record will stay forever 😮 Great throws and great record 💪🏻
Watched the whole video with a big smile. Awesome! I hope Ceh and Stahl will join this comp next year. All 3 of them are capable to throw the WR.
i guess stahl is finally gonna be free to now that his coach isn't the ''I hate wind but i threw my pb in it'' guy
@@mantasvilunas2636 everyone's PB is in wind. Every coach realistically knows that. The far shorter distances at indoor discus meets highlight that
@@veganpotterthevegan tell Vennstein that then,since he can't stop bitching
@mantasvilunas2636 he's only complaining because his thrower didn't do it. If there was a wind like that at worlds and Stahl got the WR, you can be sure he'd be gloating about coaching the WR holder😂
@@veganpotterthevegan no duh ''I DON'T ALLOW MUH THROWERS TO GO THESE MEETS'' What the fuck was Kanter doing then,he makes no sense
Breaks the 38 year old world record: 'one more throw left'!
looking forward to see him in Paris 2024 lets go!!!
To think this man is only in his extremely early 20’s, have a reaction as if this throw was bad, and also got the world record?! This man is going places, if anything, he’s already there.
I think it's because he knows that when he's really connected, he's thrown 71m on a typical day and that WR throw probably came out more like a 68-69m throw.
Hes likely too shocked to think its real in the moment
Great serie ! 6 attempts above 70 m 😵. Absolutely never seen before. Congrats and leave the jealous says : "Yes but there are a lot of wind bla bla bla....". The wind is strong, but you have the mastery of it !!! From a 51m thrower in France (with wind 🤭) CONGRATULATIONS !!! 🎉🎉🎉
What’s really amazing about this sport is that they are all rivals and competitors yet you can just see the genuine joy and support and excitement for him by everyone involved.
Seems like it is taking generations to break world records these days: Crouser; Duplantis; Alekna. These are all dynasties.
Hmm, does Stefka Kostadinova have a granddaughter or does Blanka Vlasic have a daughter in high jumping? :)
@@barath4545 Angelina Topić
Damn cool that Ryan Crouser was there.
the guy is built like a freaking superhero. insane talent.
Insanity. This was so fun to watch. I'm coaching my kids based off this from now on. They can't explain it away by the dude being unreachably jacked. 🤣 His technique and rhythm are flawless.
This is what I love about track and field....
Sportsmanship.
Hearty congratulations and genuine appreciation by fellow competitors.
Kara is comedy gold,did not hear all of that in the livestream,such a fun video,i can't wait for the official throw show to come out.
Awesome! The frightening thing is there is room for improvement. I keep wondering what will happen if he keeps that left foot down as he throws for a few more milliseconds...😮
Phenomenal! 💛💚❤LT LT LT
Lol,the shoutout to the Lithuanian coach at the end.
What exactly was the translation?
@@jackomellordt ''Mantai,if you can hear,congratulations''
@@mantasvilunas2636 that’s awesome
I was confident Alekna would take it but this early???? I can't wait to see what he does in Paris!
He certainly won´t throw 74.
@@stefanjohansson2743 um... He just did
Al Orter won 4 gold metals at the Olympics. Will that happen again?
I could watch this all day!
Thank you for the amazing video, the angles and the slo-mo really help to learn from and just enjoy the throwing🙏🏼
Just crazy that this was essentially thrown in the middle of nowhere. Fitting for where field events are at in this country. Congrats though.
Today we're going to be breaking the longest world record in track & field and we're...starting...right...now!
LMAO
yoooooo.....
Well done!
Congrats To Mykolas Alekna!!!
Pagarba 🇱🇹!
Olympics gunna be 🔥
Inspirational.
The Oklahoma state record ain’t ever gonna get beat now, insanity
Has anyone seen a technical analysis of this throw? Alekna has a very unique wind up and sprint and i would like to know some details about the methodology.
don't think there's one on here yet
We will do an analysis in a week or so
@@ThrowsUniversity thank you!
His right leg is like LJ Sylvester
th-cam.com/video/8v0EU3kGL6k/w-d-xo.html
it looked like just another training session!!!! Wild!!!!!!!!!!!
love how he was pissed with 72m plus throws.
Imagine that call to your dad
What was the wind direction on that throw? Flags indicate it was coming from the right but was is straight across, assisting or against?
strong right-quarter wind
Hey throws Univesity im a discus throw from the Philippines i love watching your vids and id like to say thanks bc i learnd alot from your vids and your vids were the reason i got into my first regionals😊 but i lost thoe i was wondering if you have any tips to fix my throw because i releas the discus to Early and its always lands out of the sector line.
The hardest and longest WR to break in T&F is since 1985... 286' in the hammer throw...
Its going to be very interesting, olimpic to watch,
definitely not Olimpic...
seems like lots of wind? he may stretch that on out since he's so young!
Why can't sprinters use a wind aided time for a world record but a field eventer can use a wind aided throw?
Just admit that you know absolutely nothing about the event and you are only here to troll.
Did you look from whear was wind blowing???😂😂😂 Look at flags.
Is the guy at 9:25 Ryan Crouser? If I remember correctly he is a discus thrower too, but not of the absolute top.
he's a high school discus record holder,he hasn't done discus in forever
Every human has heard of this accomplishment!
Unfornunatly not !
no
The wind helped a lot: you can’t have in a regular stadium! Wasn’t too WINDY to be omologate ??
announcer is hilarious
Did they record discus landing 🎉
How are the distances measured (not the one that also used a tape) exactly? I don't see any side gear for triangulation or a target or tripod for a point to point laser with radius offset. Is there a video or a link that shows this setup or a similar setup? I really want a good system (end to end) for high speed accurate measurement (
as good as this is there is quite a bit of wind so hopefully that was inside theboundaries
Do they always have so many cameras capturing at those events from all possible angles ?! It's like they knew that the world record is going to fall that day. Amazing footage.
We knew that our athletes were ready to throw far and we already have lots of cameras to capture. This was just a lucky coincidence that we thought could make for a cool video.
where's that analysis vid ?
Is wind not an issue with records in discuss? Is it considered and disadvantage. Seemed like it was blowing 10mph or possibly more
it's not
since wind is not a factor , would be great to see them throwing in 50 or 60 mph winds!
what about the wind, seems like its windy. what are the rules for wind in discus? must be better with tailwind?
There are no rules regarding wind speeds in discus. Also, contrary to popular belief, a tailwind actually decreases distances, as it just bats the disc down. The most advantageous wind for a discus thrower is a diagonal headwind coming from the same direction as their dominant hand
Are there any parameters on legal winds? Not trying to discount how incredible this is at all. Just curious cause it seems pretty windy out there.
there's not
Sounds like this competition was held in a hurricane. Do they pick this location for the wind aid?
yes
8:17....Watch Mykolas left Heal from the slow motion portions. It looks like his left heal is beyond the front of the circle during his throws. The heal of the left foot never touches down outside the circle but it is definitely outside the circle at the end of his throwing sequence. Is this not very close to a foul?
th-cam.com/video/KTSZqC3LZDc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xRm8_sPsFgSxc6E1
If the first measurement was electronic why would a steel tape be needed? The steel tape is needed because it’s way more accurate than a cloth tape that stretches. But electronic doesn’t stretch and it’s used in every major competition. Usually a steel tape measures farther than a cloth tape.
steel tape is still a legal standard and wanted to double check... i believe in this instance you take the lesser of the 2
Debunking, out and round and wide sweep leg, and ground contact in power position....
Man that slavic boy can throw. Also seems to be wind aided. But then again the guy who held the record since 1986 was on something
he's not slavic
everyone else trew under 70 so if there was a good wind so it's only for alekna :)
pretty much,lol
A lot of wind was necessary to get the job done...
The wind sounds like its blowing 20mph
74.41m is 244'1½".
74.35m is 243'11".
35 is an odd number, do they not measure to the nearest lesser even centimeter anymore with tape measures?
old rule
why would they do that?
Mandatory rule in the past

What a great throw! Good heavens, he got it out there!
It worried me when ring judge waited to clear 4-5 seconds after looking away... Mykolas got out of the ring in a hurry, pretty sure he stepped out right as the discus hit the ground from what I could see at the back angle at 11:45, I didn't even notice until the side shot 12:08 , but yeah, I've seen people DQ'd for the same thing; and for the record I though it was stupid call then too, but he was obviously in control but backwards and quickly will bother some judges.
It is *2024* where a swimmer set a NCAA record and was literally DQ'd for celebrating with a teammate after a race was over, but not everyone had touched the wall... the world is chalk full of Karens and rules lawyers; and technicalities are bureaucrats playground.
The point of that rule is so that they are in control at the end of the throw. No experienced official would consider Alekna's behavior a foul. He threw the throw, stopped, then exited the ring. The idea behind the rule is more important than the rule itself since its literally the reason behind the rule.
13:01 lucky foul throw... the fifth throw would be deemed invalid by our referees. Even if it flew over field of view. :)
I can tell you as the editor who zoomed in as close as possible at looked frame by frame at 120fps.... it was NOT a foul.
I don't think he stepped on the edge. So what do the rules say? Do they say that the heel of the pivot foot can not go over the edge even if not stepping on the edge?
He didn't step outside the ring at all? lmao
I see no foul.
@@ThrowsUniversity Formally, the referee approved the throw. However, I know how judges can be extreme, even malicious, in such cases. We often smeared the edges of the rim with chalk. The referee, lying on the grass, saw what he saw anyway. The issue is certainly a technical challenge. There are more such challenges, including: measuring throws... Either way, you are great people, and you proved with these competitions that you have done more for this sport than anyone before. Best regards
The hardest? Natayla Lisovskaya's shot put record is the one that will test people the most.
there's no hope of that going down until android time,so doesn't even count,no womenof this era thinks she stands a chance
Will this be ratified? It looks like a rather informal meet...
it will be
Wind
thanks captain obvious,also not an illiegal think in discus and exactl how rold records are accomplished
is this a valid world record
yes
I'm still not 100% sure how I feel about this record being ratified. I think it calls into question just how ergogenic wind can be at times, and that the notion of "wind-chasing" could potentially warrant a revisit to the aerodynamics of how the discus works in high winds (why there has never been a rule set in stone confuses me to this day tbh). 9/10 from the top 10 men in this competition PR'd, and 7/10 from the top 10 women PR'd as well; almost all of which were like 4-5% or higher. That's not just a meet where things like atmosphere and "hype" can be a reason; these are statistical anomalies that were the direct result of some sort of nature-related aid to the point where it artificially created higher marks.
no
This is how the previous world record was set. Mac Wilkins had 3 world records on a windy day. Many throws have happened in the last 30 years in windy conditions. This is the only one that went 74m.
@@derekandriesian634 I'll have to look at weather archives to get a fair comparison, but clearly, wind can provide ergogenic benefits that are similar to, or arguably better than wind-aided sprinting records if they were to count.
Sorry, but the math ain't mathing. No random season opener meet in Oklahoma is producing these throws unless there's some sort of notable aid that should be looked into.
@@RunnerBoi tell me you know nothing by writing a long ‘winded’ post without telling me your know jack shit
@TheGudeGym I didn't claim to know anything, or that I was stating any facts. If you can't tell my comment is nothing more than genuine speculation and concern, that says more about your reading comprehension than any point I made lmfao.
Watch him break 80m next
In a hurricane maybe
this is not the same as doing a WR in competition
how so? do you not count the original WR? You needed to throw over 66m to make the final of this competition, making it one of the deepest comps in history (there were 28 competitors)
Hardest record to break? Hold my beer, Juri Sedic! Juri hold my beer, Petra Maier Felke 😂
Absolutely.
The throw was wind aided. Can't you hear it blowing? It's a quarterly wind for right handed throwers. The wind lifts the disc. In dead air he would not throw as far. So let's stop having wind aided sprints!
whine whine whine all night
@@mantasvilunas2636 Facts sound like whining to you. Interesting. They put ** asterisks beside altitude sprint records. What say you?
@@danjackson5180 i say it's not the same thing and it's nonsense to compare throwing to sprints.wind has always been a thing in discus and so have these kind of events,he broke a gdr world record,that should be celebrated.[i wrote a longer comment youtube deleted it,not typing it again].
@@mantasvilunas2636 They are both athletic events governed and regulated by rules made by human beings. Of course they can be compared. Wind aided is wind aided. Simple No? Who dominates the sprints and who dominates the throws?
@@danjackson5180 wind high in the air is not the same as wind on the ground,no it is not simple,who was arguing that this wasn't wind aided exactly ? ''who dominates the sprints and who dominates the throws?'' oh please don't tell me your gonna go with ''wind limits existing in sprints but not in throws is racist'' they were there in the gdr days too.How is the fact that white people dominate throws[even though compared to sprinting there is absolutely much more diversity of color at the highest levels],is relevant to this conversation,other than what i think your suggesting ? P.s the last men
s discus world record was achieved in pretty much the same conditions,theres no reason for there to be asterisks to this.he's 21,he has plenty of time to have crazy throws in stadiums.
this was no real WR, cause there was much to much wind
yeah it is,it's how the previous discus world record was achieved,and the one before that,and the one before that.
@@mantasvilunas2636 yes, you are right, but there should be windrules
The hardest world record in track and field, is the womens 800m..
Not sure where you're getting your information from as coaches but it's wrong
add men's to that sentence and then it was accurate.
Bullshit....to much wind....that*s not the same situation like in a station!!! 👎 We will see what he can throw at the Olympic Games
It was windy. Doesn't count!!!
How is there no video footage of this throw?
every person in the world has a camera today. and not one used one here, despite throws near the wr
I find this hard to believe
to break a WR of this caliber and not have one video taken of it
We will see what Alekna throws in the real meets
