Hints
Hammer throw
The hammer throw is one of the more
inconsistent events in the game. Use your favorite technique to do fast,
clockwise circles. Note: Your power here does not necessarily have to be glowing
red; orange-red will do. Stop the power meter at the farthest left side of the
throwing area as possible. The red ball can be hanging about one third over the
line to still constitute a legal throw. Set your angle at either 43 or 45
degrees for the best possible throw. The game will only let you stop on 43, 45
or 48 degrees usually, and 48 is too high. This technique should land 101+ meter
throws and set some great records.
100 meter dash and 100 meter freestyle swimming
While button pushing, all you need is consistency. In both events, you need
to develop a system that will help you jump "out of the blocks" before
the rest of the field. Try counting down 3...2...1...after the word
"Set" disappears on the 100 meter dash. In the 100 meter freestyle,
use that same system once your swimmer's hands have come to a complete rest on
the stand. In each event you should then button press as fast as possible to
build a lead, then maintain a very even and moderately fast button pressing
system. This allow you to break records consistently. Note: It appears that 9.45
seconds is the fastest possible time in the 100 meter dash. The game obviously
locks you in at certain times and distances throughout the events.
Pole vault
In the pole vault event, it is impossible to vault 7.00 meters. However you
can vault 6.99 meters quite easily. Vault 5.50 on your first attempt, then when
successfully cleared, attempt 6.00 meters, which is still an easy vault and puts
you in first place. Finally, after you have successfully completed that, attempt
6.99 meters. You should be able to clear it rather easily if you are good.
However, at 7.00 meters once you advance, the game will always stop your
recovery bar at the same two spots around the stop arrow - a fraction of an inch
before or slightly farther after the stop arrow
