Throws Information
Throwing formats
In Olympic throwing events -- men's and women's shot put, discus, hammer and javelin -- the competition begins with a qualifying round in which the entire field is divided into two or more groups. In this round, competitors take turns attempting to reach a pre-set distance that automatically advances them to the final. If fewer than 12 athletes meet the distance required from direct qualification, the 12 competitors with the best throws, plus any athletes tying for 12th, advance to the final. In the final round, competitors take turns until each has attempted three throws. At this point, the top eight-ranked competitors (plus ties) receive three more throws. The best throw of the six is counted and the athlete with the longest throw is declared the winner. In case of a tie, the second-best throw is consulted.

I just met your Brother, Michael Campbell at the US Passport Office in San Francisco.
You and your family are in my Prayers. Remember that the Strength of God is yours to use. I'm sending my Congratulations in Advance. Thank you for representing our Great Country at the 2012 Olympics.
God Bless you.

Amber, how can people donate to get your parents to London? I have been talking to my co-workers at Reis-nichols and we want to help.
