iPod tossed 154 yards by an Olympic thrower

Roald Bradstock is a champion javelin thrower, but lately he's been throwing more than that, including an egg, a golf ball, and a soccer ball. You know when people start breaking random things in creative ways, an Apple product will show up. Sure enough, in the video above (turn the sound down, the wind noise is horrendous), Roald tosses an iPod a football field and a half.

There's no reason why he should do this, but it looks like Apple expected this might happen some day -- despite a mess of mud and grass, the iPod is apparently no worse for the wear. You might say it's silly, you might say it's not impressive, but then again: could you do it?

And if you do, could you post it on YouTube, too?

Do we know if he threw it into all that wind, or against it?

Can a zune be thrown this far, no way, and would it still work afterwords, absolutely not.

Do all champion javelin throwers get to dress like that? I'm clearly in the wrong profession...
