Schmidt was one of the finest technical throwers. He along with Powell and Wilkins used lineal movement to its finest. So many throwers today rely in their sheer mass and leave so much distance on the table due to basic mistakes.

Vésteinn Hafsteinsson, coach of Gerd Kanter and Daniel Stahl (both olimpic gold medalist and world champs), always refer to Schmidt when he talks about perfect technique. That's why Wolgang Schmidt isn't considered only one of the greatest discus thrower, but a MASTER thrower.

Part of the reasons why the old school throwers had an amazing finish with their feet still on the ground, it's because they practiced the glide technique to throw the shot, so their finish was powerful to the front of the circle, i think I'll have to do some glide drills before i do my power position throws.

everyone still has their feet on the ground, they just block much harder. Mac Wilkins had a very powerful finish and was a great shot putter

You have to finish with both feet on the ground. That's throwing 101, it's called double support.

In the cold war era , the countries involved made a big deal out of winning in Olympic games, it was their way of showing they could beat the countries on the other side , so doping became a state sponsored thing ,while doping wasn't thoroughly checked as it is now , the best doctors got involved in doping athletes and that took place everywhere :( China - East and West Germany - East Europe - West Europe - the USSR - the USA ) . I'm not trying to take away from such a big athlete as this one but what i said was a fact back then.

Did you read the book thrown free ? It’s a great book about his life up to 1990! It’s important today as we must all be thrown free of censorship and oppressive operators. He has a little humor while in the stasi interrogation room mocking “the actor /twitchers “ discontent. The interrogator starts twitching like he’s going to explode in anger , so Wolfgang starts mimicking the twitches. Master of the discus / master of the mind.
