Hey Slinger
I don't know much more than what is readily available to all (eg Garry's posts on the US forum). He apparently bench's around 140kg which furthers my belief that bench 1RM is far less meaningful than many believe. One of the other throwers here told me that Jarrod hits high 70's off two strides in training and to me he has bulked up a bit since 2006.
One thing I know for certain - he has bloody good eyesight! (Could read Jeremy Wariner's 400m time from the opposite end of the field at MElbourne's Olympic park - I couldn't see the scoreboard).

ok cheers for that - i know guys who have thrown high 70's and not benched 100kg, or at very best maybe 100kg. from my understanding and experience i think the top guys look more at shot throws and jumps as a slight more importance to their training than 1RM's in the gym. Andreas and Tero love their shot throws forward and back - 4kg btw. high 70's off 2 strides is mega btw! that's stepping into best ever class tbh, i know top guys can hit 60-70m form a stand and mid 70's to 80m+ from 5 or 7 strides, so high 70's off 2 is, as i said mega and very, very impressive - makes you wonder though if he can do that often from 2, then why does he only throw more regular at 80m flat? but tbh he's stepped up a level in class in one comp at the Aussie champs - an amazing result for him and i bet he's still on the beers now!...... get him to the spot where andrew curry did his 86, i heard there was a massive tailwind there.... that'll see him crack a good 'un, maybe even 90m now that would be something!

It certainly is a good step up, although as, stated, his coach expected a step (perhaps not quite this big) on the basis of recent training and the fact that a niggle keep him from exploiting his best recent form.
Not sure what Jarrod does for ball throws...
Not sure about the wind on that throw but there were headwinds for sprints during the three days of the meet and on that night (~30 minutes earlier) two heats of the 100 were run, one into no wind and the other into -2.3. The final of the hundred, which may have been around when the final throw happened had -1.7. These are all Tailwinds for the Jav that night but they are obviously not strong enough to add heaps. Aussie fans of the event are obviously looking forward to the possibility of a 90m+ record!
Interestingly, the Europeans that he competed against in your recent summer were kind enough to predict that he would be the next guy to come up to the 'elite' level...

According to the IAAF site, Oosthuizen threw 86.80 yesterday. Not bad for a 21 year old!!
Looks like the stakes are being raised.

speaking to nick nieland recently he said he thought oosthuizen would be the next 90m, if not next he would go 90 sooner rather than later.
back to bannister though, it's about time Australia have a top male javelin thrower, the girls have had some good throwers but the men seem not to be as a high a level, i wonder if it's due to the popularity of rugby, cricket and aussie rules so most kids go down those routes? as like SA though, Australia have some bloody big blokes knocking about!!
i'm sure having a guy or girl right at the very top of the sport will be a great inspiration to other younger throwers and even an attraction to take up the sport in the first place - good on Australia i say! ;D

That's weird... I cut and pasted it last night from the Bislett website! But I checked again and your results are correct, Sam. Someone's typing wasnt quite accurate I think!
