On one hand I agree, on the other hand I'm most of the time watching him and just thinking "nice, but normally WR's are about going to the human limits, where here it mostly feels like holding back for the financial bonus"  

 

Don't get me wrong, that is not in any way negative about him, because he is absolutely 100% right in doing it this way in the only event in which that is somewhat feasible  It just feels a bit less like something amazing when you know the WR is not even the current limit, as opposed to for example running, throwing or long jumping. If you know what I mean, I realize it's hard to put exactly into words without sounding negative (which, again, I am not ).

No I know exactly what you mean, I think we'd all love to see him have a crack at even bigger heights to see what is the limit of his abilities but we know that won't happen.

This reminded me in the past when my mother would always be annoyed by Yelena Isinbayeva who according to her just hid under a towel all day and then would come out at the end and put 1cm on the bar to break the record. She never remembered her name and would call her "that annoying one with the towel"

I'm really curious what Stona will do in discus. I still think his throw in the OG was a fluke. A fluke that got him the gold.

Well yeah, so far he definitely timed the throw of his life perfect indeed
