Have A Great Weekend Of Track and Field. TrackMom

This video is a great collection of all the Men’s Track and Field World Records (excludes distances over 5000 meters or Multis).

Some of these videos are very rare, as I haven’t seen these in a long long time (i.e. the pole vault or high jump record)

This list has a lot of outstanding performances… let me correct that, ALL of them are outstanding!

The one I am impressed with is Randy Barnes shot put. The 16 pound stone explodes out of his arm like a cannon. So much, that after the first bounce, it flies out of the throwing area!

For history sake, I have to include the pre-modern day javelin with Uwe Hohn 104.80 meters 1984 Javelin World Record. The video is shown here on YouTube. A couple more feet and he would have killed the pole vault competitors waiting on the other aide of the apron!
