Success in Athletics and how to obtain it

FIG. sz.-HAMMER-THROW,ING (No. 4). A. E. Flaxman, L.A.C. This photo was taken a fraction of a· second after the maximum effort and final -"heave" of body 1 arms, and legs had taken place. It is pointed out that movement h.as instantaneously been arrested, and the knees have strnk slightly; the curious pqsi– :-bou of the arms is due to reflex action. 'The hammer is travelling slightly towards the -thrower's right front. This is the finish of F laxman's fourth turn, and the abrupt ter– ·mination of the whole evolution . . FIG. 53--DISCUS-THROWING. This picture of Duncan Gillis, of Canada, shows the athlete just about to commence the turn, and if carefully studied it will show how the misconception of l\!Iyrou's Dis– cobolos arose when the statue was reconstructed. If viewed from the athlete's right front , it might well appear tha.t the left hand is placed, or at any rate about to be placed, upon the right knee. The positions of the right arm, head, legs, and body are practically identical with this well-known statue.
