Audio Interview with Canadian Olympian Dylan Armstrong
Tue 25 Nov 2008
Dylan Armstrong is Canada’s national record holder in the shot put and the first man in Canadian history to throw over 21m in the event. Dylan’s 4th place finish at the Beijing Olympics was Canada’s greatest finish ever in the shot and its best finish in a throwing event in nearly 100 years. He has won multiple national titles in the shot put and the hammer, is the 2007 Pan Am champion in the shot put, and was the silver medalist in the hammer at the World Junior Championships in Santiago, Chile. He still trains and resides in his hometown of Kamloops, British Columbia and is coached by the legendary Dr. Anatoly Bondarchuk.
In this interview Dylan shares his thoughts on a number of interesting topics including his athletic background, experience at the Beijing Olympics and his view on the rotational shot put technique. Dylan also answers questions on a number of issues regarding his training methodology under Dr. Bondarchuk, including the type of strength training and training periodization that they employ. This is a great interview with one of Canada’s brightest stars in the sport and his tutelage under one of the world’s premier throws coaches.
