Team Campbell is mounting up a British Invasion

Tomorrow Amber and her Coaches leave for London.  We pray for safe travels and no stress.  I give her props because she does put in the work.  She is always a Gold Medalist in out hearts and minds.  Essence.Com named her one of the Sisters to Watch in the Olympics and she graced the cover of the sports page in a little town named Attleboro in Massachusetts.  It is your time now little Sister.  You have all the skills the desire and the knowledge that thru God all things are possible.  THROW LONG THROW STRONG!!! TEAM CAMPBELL!!!!

Throws Information

Throwing formats
In Olympic throwing events -- men's and women's shot put, discus, hammer and javelin -- the competition begins with a qualifying round in which the entire field is divided into two or more groups. In this round, competitors take turns attempting to reach a pre-set distance that automatically advances them to the final. If fewer than 12 athletes meet the distance required from direct qualification, the 12 competitors with the best throws, plus any athletes tying for 12th, advance to the final. In the final round, competitors take turns until each has attempted three throws. At this point, the top eight-ranked competitors (plus ties) receive three more throws. The best throw of the six is counted and the athlete with the longest throw is declared the winner. In case of a tie, the second-best throw is consulted.
