Sind die allgemeinen Kraftwerte nicht irrelevant? Wenns so einfach wäre, würde ein Gewichtheber den Kugelstoß-WR halten.
Anatoli Bondarchuk hat das in einem Interview gut erklärt:

This is because the specific throwing training has progressed over 30 years.  Now, I realize that the athlete does not need maximal strength but special dynamic strength.  Special strength is much more important and has a much higher rate of transfer into the specific throw.  In the 1960's, I had a friend that squatted 320k, cleaned 200k, had a fast 100m but only threw 17.20 in the shot put.  Later I realized that the maximal strength training does not have a high rate of transfer and my friend was one of many examples for this.
