Wonderful. Did you take that shot??
Yes I did @jbn. Thank you! 😊
We were very lucky and managed to get tickets to three different events. I can't remember the specific race but think it was the 5000 metres.
5000 meters.. i could never run for that long.. i have participated in hammer throw and shot put throws within national circuit.. kudos to you for getting the shot without blurs... cheers.. 😌
Thank you. It was a lucky shot really. There are a load of others where either foreground or background were blurred.
I've never "met" anyone before who's actually participated in hammer throw! 😊
Well now you have... hehehe :p i wasn’t even interested. Atheltics team from my university took me for hammer throw because i was a body builder and they though that i could do something with all that energy and mass. and what do u know.. i got them a gold medal 😂
Well done you @jbn. Did you not enjoy it though? It doesn't sound like you did, apart from the medal that is. 😁
I did.. for a brief period.. i was a basket ball player and public speaker.. throwing an iron ball attached to a chain didn't bring any joy to be honest.. :p
Did you enjoy the basket ball and public speaker stuff @jbn?
Does that mean you are really tall? 😁
