Thanks for your service! also, I'm no discus pro (and my max throw ever is around 10m probably), but that throw looks so extremely high energy, very cool. He's almost vibrating the energy off!

I like this comment better when read through the eyes of an upper class Englishman:

Well I never! Such extraordinary athleticism! A whirlwind of power, wouldn't you agree? The sheer force of his throw, wow! My own attempts might scarcely clear a small garden hedge.
