LSTJ continues to be the only publication in the world dedicated to the throwing events in track and field. LSTJ is about more than technique and training. LSTJ focuses on the personal side as elite athletes and coaches give insight on the keys to success and the personalities behind their achievements. LSTJ provides throws coverage and photos from major competitions that you won’t find anywhere else. LSTJ touches on the issues that affect the throws community. LSTJ’s interviews with top name throwers such as Adam Nelson, Aretha Hill, Erin Gilreath and Breaux Greer as well as with legends such as Al Oerter, Kate Schmidt and Michael Carter are invaluable.
