The development of shot putter Christina Schwanitz
Over the last few years Christina Schwanitz has slowly but surely evolved into a world class shot putter. Last year she won two medals at international championships. In an article which recently appeared in the German coaching journal Leichtathletiktraining (published by Philippka Sportverlag), coach Sven Lang (who also coaches David Storl), provided a fascinating insight into Schwanitz’s development. Below is my summary of the article, The development of shot putter Christina Schwanitz.
Fascinating feature on shot putter David Storl
In 2012 Schmidt Media posted “Vision Gold – Kugelstoßen”, a fascinating portrait on Germany’s latest shot put sensation. The film provides interesting insights into David Storl’s training and development as a thrower as he prepares for the 2012 Olympic Games. Below is my edited summary in English for those who would like to know what is being said in the video.

Great video on two promising US throwers
I recommend you watch this video (thanks to Dale Stevenson for recommending) featuring US throwers Russ Winger (DT & SP) and Kara Patterson (JT). Great advertising for throws.
What’s Werner Günthör up to these days?
Werner Günthör (50) was one of the greatest shot putters ever, retiring in 1993 after winning his third straight World Championship title.
These days the Swiss giant enjoys playing ice hockey, but he still likes to win. Watch him in action.
