Sedykh together with Sergey Litvinov we’re the two greatest hammer throwers to ever grace this sport. The only two throwers to ever surpassed the 86m mark. Thank you for the memories. RIP both.

83.94-85.28-85.46-86.74-86.68-86.62 What an incredible series of throws

Rest in peace Sedyhk You are the greatest hammer thrower ever.

Just watched some recent competitions, they don't have such flawless technique. This is incredible

Super commentary by Stuart Storey and Ron Pickering

I was a 2 time All-American in Hammer and |I had the great honor of watching Sedykh throw at some practices back in the day. As a hammer thrower, I was in awe of him and his flawless technique. I always wished I could rise to a level that was close to his, but it was not to be. He was and always will be, my idol in the hammer world.

What a great competition. Sedykh was just showing off on that last throw, almost matching his world record from, like, 20 minutes earlier. Incredible technique, getting that power off of three spins instead of four.

Had to watch this again today (for what seems like the 3,000th time). RIP.

This is the priceless hammer throw video! Exellent job! Nobody has such tehnique like Yuri and Sergei!

What a sick series of throws,an average of 85m,todays throwers barely throw 83m

@@TheDrewpdog The hammer throw is not about being the strongest; you need enough strength to control the speed and propel the hammer, yes, but the majority of it is technique. And Sedykh had flawless technique.

I have watched this video more than 100x, and it never gets old. That WR throw makes the left foot look like he’s moon walking like Michael Jackson. RIP GOAT

I never tire of watching this. Ever. I used the cybergenics video of Sedykh to teach myself to throw in college at a small school. Ended up all american and still have school record from 1991, altho don't ask how far cause it wasn't a world beater. Still proud of it. Great memories. Also, this reminded me he was from Ukraine. He's my all-time hero of any sport.

This world record will not be broken for atleast another 25 years. Take my word!

Maybe never. Due to the Soviet sports juggernaut, he was basically a professional hammer thrower, and could devote all his time to it. Even a lot of world class throwers today need a regular day job.

Incredible series of throws. And serious stupidity on those photographers- if his hammer had broken (which does occur) there would have been a swath of fatalities. You'd never see that allowed today!!

He has the right number on his shirt for doing this.

Thank You John Coleman. I'm half Irish and glad to hear I count! Mom was from Czechoslovakia and Dad from Boston, Massachusetts. They met (and incidentally both struck Gold) at the Melbourne Olympics in 1956.

sedykh said it was his favorite throw ever and that the fact it was 6cm shorter meant nothing.. to him, it was exactly the same..

Is impressive how he was improving his mark in every throw

Wow!!the speed and technique is amazing.It must take years of practice to get anywhere near this level 👍.After all these years this record still stands ,it just shows that as humans it is impossible to physically throw further ,same in the javelin and discus,these records could never be broken!!The only reason the 100 m was smashed was because Bolt was almost a freak of nature with his massive stride etc.We need a Hulk type figurd to smash these long-standing records!!!

the record stands because of modern day drug testing. all these guys back then were using anabolic steroid drugs

He was an absolute machine!!!

I'd give anything to have been there to see it with my own eyes.

I was there this day.....jaw dropping performance

Would have been good to see the last throw on here because it was another classic-86.62, again just short of his own WR. Best hammer competition ever.

The top guys today could use with cutting some weight and focusing on speed and technique. Sedykh is so fast and precise.

great video!!! yuri with an 86.74 and an 86.68 back to back, simply amazing

"After we had injected his sample into our Hewlett-Packard machine, an alarm sounded and it became so contaminated with stanozolol metabolites that the next few samples spat out false positives even when we knew there were no steroids present . . . we called this the Sedykh effect."

Qué fortaleza física!! Tremendos!

@jmm121884 did youri have any sponsors like adidas

@MrHav1k yes... Sedkyh told me that he tried 4 turns but it was just as far as when he did 3.. more consistent with 3

Yeah the 86,68 throw looks alot more perfect than the previous throw, but I assume, as you said, that when you throw a world record your body will begin to slow down and get exhausted :P

This was a kickass competition... Make me wana go out and throw something!

@turb05 I agree, but it is also a testament to how freakin good these guys were.

how do they know when and how to let go

rip youri

I didn't mean specifically his age, I meant generally "your age is a bit of a problem" as in "anybodys age is a bit of a problem, if you are too old when you start". Sorry, a bit indistinct statement.

@ColonelVagner It was like 83-84 meters I believe I would have liked to seen it but I dont have it

From your post and your name it sounds like you are Sergei's Son. You dont have this?

Watching this clip after the Beijing throws, just makes me wanna cry... not only are they in a league of their own in terms of length, but also in terms of consistency. Great video!

Yes Iam. but I see it just the attemps with no sound its another feeling to see it with sound :)

What a cannon

It's amazing what performance enhancing drugs can do for you. I refuse to believe this is a clean record no one has come close really since. With his HGH ball headed ass

nice to see it was off three turns... Means I could still Become a good hammer thrower if I do 3 turns and not caring to do 4.

I dont know... make the hammer lighter?

Hahahaha....er war wie eine Apoteke!! Von kopf bis fuss --doping!!

A yard is 0.91 meter, so it's about 9 cm shorter. A yard is exactly 3 feet

بقي هادا الرقم القياسي العالمي الي يومنا هادا

I don't know about that. The junior top ten with 7,26kg hasn't been changed since Olli-Pekka Karjalainen's 78,33 in 1999. But who did you have in mind?

mm no. it was basically down the middle.. the only issue in the throw was that his double support push was rushed on the second turn. sedykh is the one who says this.

@willanger26 I don't think you'd have to go homw, she's probably watching?

craazy men

@ColonelVagner It was 86.62.

Hahaha I love this!!

@JxAxRxRxExTxT with his power thats a good number for him

Way too many people commenting "steroids" on here. Want to know the truth? The truth is that there are many athletes that are way stronger than Sedykh ever was. This sport could allow people to use steroids with no testing and athletes would still fall way short of his world record. Hammer throw is not about being the strongest. You need enough strength to control the speed and propel the hammer. The rest is technique and skill. You have to be smart in this sport. Steroids my ass. If you think this guy is on steroids, or think that steroids would even make much of a difference in this sport. I am sorry, but you don't know jack about hammer throw. Trolls.
