@rancid-schnitzel given that was 9 years ago and her body would’ve strengthened and matured considerably, I think there would be significant gains on that youtube clip.
I had a female x-fit trainer who was 32yo that could bust out 20 straight weighted (20kg plate) chin-ups. And they weren’t those butterfly or kipping ones either. She wasn’t a pro athlete, but trained a fair amount.

Or, why not have a huge take-off area, with your jumo/throw measured from wherever you took off/threw from? We don't care where a high jumper takes off from, why do care where a jumper takes off from, or a thrower throws from?
Get back to measuring the jumping/throwing and not how good people are at measuring a run-up?Before all you picks lay into me, this is a half-baked suggestion made after a bottle of wine (fuck you dry August)
Your spelling / typing after a bottle of wine is admirable... far better than mine ...

Maybe instead of 5 she can now do 8. No way she’s doing 30. Chin-ups are also significantly easier than pull-ups, which is what she was doing in that clip. Seems like Chinese Whispers.

Lot's of foul throws to start in the women's hammer throw, including all 3 Poles. Ratcliffe was in 3rd after the 1st round.
9th now after 3 rounds so just misses the cut for 3 more throws, gutted.
I was flicking between the hammer and shot put so didn't see her last throw. 9th is a good effort but so close to making the last 8.

This Swede is making pole vault look easy.
