There are less than 10 guys who can throw two-thirds of the way across. Maybe fewer than 5. And two living guys who have thrown all the way across--with 175 gram tournament weights on Zziplex tournament rods.

Believe me, we had a bunch of guys who can chuck it try to deliberately cross lines from opposite sides of the Canal a couple of years ago. Maybe once---and it's a big maybe---they came close to overlapping.

And if you throw any kind of a crosswind into the picture, and crosswinds are a common feature, and you're not even getting close to halfway.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
