This book is the first introduction into the modern technique of hammer throwing, based on a broad application of the laws of physics. It is addressed to coaches, throwers, and specialists in biomechanics and physics of sports. The authors are: the two-time Olympic champion, world champion, and the current world record holder Yuri Sedykh and the physicist and coach Dr. Vladimir Strelnitski. The thorough discussion of the technical and physical aspects of each phase of a throw is facilitated by two new concepts introduced by the authors: the "neutral position" and the "Point X."
