[benzilla]

8.17m for me thanks....

[james79]

5.17m for me

[hoffmeister]

8,25

[bronco]

I did 8.9m I think at VFW. Also an unoffical result above 10m, but the measuring was very suspicious...

as one of the people doing the measurement, i have to agree. Sorry for messing that one up. Maybe it was 10.60m, maybe not... Maybe there was a gust of wind which took it far...

AWESOME that there are all these new entries to the challenge

I bet it is really helpful if you understand french . Appearantly a mullet-hairdo and a moustache are essential for good shotputting.

5,65 for me on VFW something to improve on until next year!

[violetti]

My result at VFW was 6.72. I was the best of all women at the shot put session, heh

[SpugFab]

Results are up, I hope to have a go this weekend

A bit of advice from the BBC:

My plan for the weekend - dodgy beard + bandana = shot put success

[SpugFab]

I hope to have a go this weekend

Weather has thwarted my efforts on the two times I've planned to put some shot, sorry

Paralympic games news - GB's Nathan Stephens finishes 8th with a throw of 12.57m:

Hum, I'm quite sure I got 7,25 at VFW. Lost to baldy with just 5cm, we'll see how it goes next year (if we have an opportunity to shot put).

hold on - guys that are as big and strong as those on this table aren't even HALF as far as the Olympic dudes?

Well, JP and bronco can almost snatch as much as the 48kg women in the olympics.

If you train something for 20 years daily you get really good at that.

With proper training and technique the biggest guys here could easily get 15m but what's the point when you can spend the same time training strongman events.
