Comparing A Model
I decided that it would be better to have a technical model(s) to compare the girls to rather than make a subjective judgement. I searched my videos scattered across the floor in the living room. These videos were mostly made by myself from the television and some had been given by friends.
Unfortunately all the video I had of women's javelin throwing was poor so I had to make sequences of the throwing action of two men competing in the Olympics. I realise that I should have used females but you have to use what you have got. That nice guy Boris doesn't throw like a girl and neither does Makarov - indeed far from it, but don't you think their sequences are great?
Anita's throwing needs to be looked at again from the other side i.e. from the right side as she is a right handed thrower. She appears to commence the throw well but then bends the elbow strangely. |
