Former Javelin Throw World recordholder Ferenc Paragi is 61 on 21 of August!
Ferenc Paragi (born August 21, 1953 in Budapest) is a Hungarian athlete who, on April 23, 1980, established a world record of 96.72 in the javelin throw, eclipsing the global standard set by fellow countryman Miklós Németh at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.
Paragi also competed at the Moscow Olympics. Even though his form had dipped a bit after another monster mark of 96.20 on May 18, there could be no question he was among the leading favorites. However, the Olympics were for him a major disappointment. He had problems already in the qualification, languishing more than five meters from a spot in the finals after two rounds with a sub-standard mark of 72.60, but saved himself by throwing 88.76 with his third and final attempt – the best mark in the whole qualifying competition by almost three meters. Next day in the final however, he could do no better than 79.52 and had to be content with a tenth place finish. His qualification performance would have been enough for a bronze.
Concentrate! Keep your head in the game! Stay focused. You’ve probably heard your coach, teammates and even yourself repeat these and similar phrases over and over again. The ability to maintain concentration while immersed in the pressure of competition is critical to optimum performance. If you lose your focus to a sellout crowd, a distracting competitor, or nagging selfdoubt, you are not only battling your opponents, you’re battling yourself. Although we may not always be able to eliminate distractions, successful athletes take control of their performance by blocking out unnecessary distractions while responding to important cues.
