USA's STEPHANIE BROWN TRAFTON wins DISCUS GOLD




She wanted to be just like Mary Lou Retton, but at 6'4"- 220lbs, the throws seemed to be a better fit.  After being only the 3rd qualifier at the U.S. Trials, Brown Trafton dreamed of medaling in Bejing, but was not expected to, the win is remarkable.  The winning throw came on her first attempt in the finals and it just put to much pressure on the field, they could not surpass her.  She is the first U.S. woman to win Olympic Gold in the discus since Lillian Copeland in the 1932 games.

ADVICE FOR THROWERS:
"It only takes one throw!"
"Stay positive through out all situations, the best throwers know how to compete through all obstacles that my be in the way."

Why MADISON THROWS CLUB?
  • "Most athletes feel that the season is over in June but the season never really ends. It is an ongoing process and Madison Throws Club allows throwers to better themselves after the high school/collegiate season is over."
  • "Coach Frontier is the one who made me a thrower. Without him, I would have never accomplished what I have, whether it be in high school or in college."
ADVICE FOR THROWERS:
"Young throwers...Stick with it.
It takes time to develop your technique into what you want it to be. I have been throwing for 8 years and I am still making tweaks to my technique. Listen to what your coach says, make your self stronger in the weight room, and be patient with your technique. Being frustrated while you are throwing leads to the practice of bad habits that are much harder to break."

"Advanced throwers...Same thing, stick with it.
Sometimes you may feel like you have hit a wall and you will never PR again, but all it takes is that one big throw to make you forget about that slump. That is what makes this sport so great."
