Great viewing

It's killing me this @Krimzon 😆

LOL sorry mate , 

SatanGreavsie had it pretty much straight away . Answer is the Javelin .

Got to the point that people were throwing it almost out of the field and as it was too expensive to extend the target area within stadia they decided to alter the weight and metal of the javelin . 

If the record comes close again they will do the same . 

Also didnt help that one competitor threw it into the chest of a measuring judge.

Due to my obsession with athletics stats as a kid...

Uwe Hohn threw it 104.8m 

Think the incident with the judge wasn't distance related though?

Not a shark, but a bit of a surprise for beach goers nonetheless.

Absolute pure emotion from Murray, great to see

Another gold.

What a fucking run at the end from Yee.

Paced himself beautifully- reckon everyone thought he'd let the front man get away.

Malc will be mega impressed.

Aye.

Mind you, the New Zealander was probably too fucked to kick Yee in the head.
