Koji Murofushi, Japan's record-breaking hammer thrower, is writing an exclusive online diary for the International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF). Read his insights by logging on to www.iaaf.org/. Here's a snippet from a recent diary: "Humans cannot hope to beat animals in running or jumping events, however, the story will be quite different for throwing events. No animal can beat human(s) in the throwing events, for throwing events are highly complex and technically difficult events. Thus throwing events are possible only by human beings." The 13-time national champion and 2004 Olympic gold medalist is slated to compete in the IAAF World Athletics Championships next month in Osaka.
