          obviously the majority of us on here are sprinters, but I thought i’d share this video of the insanely awesome 16 year old shot putter, Jacko Gill.

          This kid is up there with Bolt, Rudisha and Radcliffe (at her peak) as one of the P4P best athletes in the world (respective of their event)

          I thought iPads couldn’t run vimeo movies. Either way, the video is there and young Master Gill is an imposing specimen.

          Surely that has to be one of the most incredible 16 year old athletes from any sport at any point in history. The kid could also electronically run 100m in 11.60 and long jump 6.40m at 13. He’d certainly have been an 8.?k decathlete if he’d taken that root.

          Kid is a freak. I cannot believe the things he is capable of. I was actually most impressed with his sprinting speed and jumping ability.

          And at what looks like only about 100kg, he has so much room for strength gains with increased size as well.

          How do these young guys develop so much power? I always thought power takes quite a few years to develop because you see much older guys in the throws than say sprints.

          World youth weightlifting champs a 17 year old guy who was about 87kg did a 172 snatch. Few years back there was a Polish guy 94kg at 18 years old, clean and jerk 232.

          Do these guys start training as soon as they can walk? Jacko has a very nice set up at home.
