Are you a sprinter or a good javelin thrower? Would you rather pick up a shot put or run a relay?

I'm pretty good on discuss, long jump and sprinting. I like sprinting because you can see who one right away, but I think the other two are more fun except when theres a lot of standing around. I think I like Javelin best but i'm not too good and I guess i need to practice (and get bigger arm muscles lol). I kind of like the idea its a weapon and I think it would be more fun with targets hehe.

I prefer the running events, even though my fitness isnt the best for long distance and im not the quickest sprinter. I hate the throwing events because I'm pretty weak, apart from discuss which I am not completed humiliated in.
I am decent at triple jump though for some reason, despite my average height? Havent figured that one out yet...

i'm good at throwing events, such as javelin, shot put and discus. I have more power in my arms then i do with my legs, so that means i'm not the greatest at running, but i am currently training so that i'm able to do a lot of things really well, rather then just a selected few. If i had the choice though, i'll say that i'm better at team games such as football, netball and so on.

Same i prefer shot put over the other 2 tho. People were surprised that I am good at throwing events as i am very lanky. I shocked a few people when i beat them in sports day :lol:

What's the hammer nick?
Im not nick but i can tell u the answer. The hammer basically is a metal ball attached on a chain that the competitor spins round 2 gain momentum 4 their throw. I don't throw it myself so i cant give u a detailed explanation.

the hammer is basically a weighted ball on a chain or rope and the thrower stands in the center of a discus circle with the net behind them, and they pivot around in cirlces on one foot until they get going really fast and they have to let the ball go at the right moment to go strait down the field

Im a good 100m sprinter and I love track and most of the field events. Im shit at javeling and long throw. Im good at long jump and high jump just because Im kinda lanky and tall :D

Well, I have read this all of the stuff and would like to say you that my favourite event is the Basketball because I am that much eager to see if the USA men's basketball team would be able to redeem itself.

Wrestling events can be very intense and I remember they were a few players of Iran is against the Americans and was a tough game the whole way.
