Roald Bradstock as Babe Ruth — calling his M55 world record stick
Zak Vince taped Roald Bradstock’s M55 WR in the javelin, which shows him saying: “Six-six 12 — world record right here” — where the listed WR is 66.11. (Babe Ruth didn’t throw javelin, but legend has it he also called his shot.) The video also depicts the official calling out all three throwers’ names, the steel tape measurement and the official shot of the measurement and the official call. “Just trying to make sure all the stuff is there with the propoer documentation,” RB told me in a Facebook chat.

Congrats for the great result. A perfectly conditioned (for his event) guy. The best of all is that he really has fun and enjoys what he is doing.
Roald threw Thursday in what he’s calling his last meet :

He did 62.47 (204-11 1/4).
I was officiating last Saturday when Roald broke the record, my first time signing a record application. My prediction is that this was Roald’s last meet … until he turns 60 and shows up in Clermont again.
Any chance of a copy of the form as it could also be a European Record , as he is still I hope British.
