I hope this profile will inspire young generations of throwers.
I am an Italo-Albanian Hammer thrower.๐ฎ๐น๐ฆ๐ฑ
This is my comeback after years of retirement due to a bad accident on the snowboard. In 2014, I fell from a slope of 5 meters on my neck/shoulders...after a long recovery; When I got back to practice, I wasn't connecting anymore with the hammer, desperately trying to anticipate it and pulling hard, to feel it just a bit.
I tried in the past 10 years to recover the use of the body through yoga/stretching and a huge variety of other sports. But of course I couldn't dare to try hammer throw again... too much to ask, I had to be patient and keep working.
Eventually I resumed competing in early 2022, after 8 weeks of practice with my new Irish coach J. Salmon๐ฎ๐ช ๐๐ in the ๐ณ๐ฑ Netherlands.
I will be posting on this channel (and on my Instagram @illucaj) clips and updates of my practices and competitions.
Head down and my eyes on the objective ๐
