We have already mentioned several times this young (18 years) discus / shot put thrower from Perth (Australia) . So far we know that he is going to be good at throwing SOMETHING , but we (or rather he) have not decided exactly what : discus or shot (see preceding chapters) . This time it was the shot when he started the 1st competition of the Australian 2021-2022 season with quite a big PB . Throwing the 6kg at 16,71m when his previous PB was 15.97m . This takes him into the lead of the national U20 Australian 2021 rankings . Of course it is good ,but it was far to a perfect throw as can be seen on this analysis , and this is rather a good new when you know that there is room for technical improvement . In this analysis , we made a comparison between a former near PB throw in march at 15,87m and this new performance . In the same stadium and the same circle ! There are indeed some obvious changes over 6 months. The challenge will be now about being able to produce and manage more speed , not only the overall speed of the throw , but to be able to produce more accelerations at the right times and of course in the delivery. And with the challenge comes a question : Will Etienne throw well over 18m in 2022 ? Available document : 1-Vid 1 Etienne ROUSSEAU vs Etienne ROUSSEAU technical comparison 15.87m and 16.71m.
