How to unlock the Shotput Strongman achievement in Beijing 2008 - Definitive Guide
Start to build up speed before the word 'Go' as you don't get much time before he throws. Try and get around 45 degrees and if you're still struggling, try using the slow-mo in olympic mode.
This is by far one of my worst events on the game, i struggle to time the throw and the angle does go up quite quick, I practiced quite a few times and managed to get it so here are my tip's.
1) Dont wait for it to say go, start rotating the stick as soon as you can after skipping the cut scene part.
2) Try to get the arrow as close to the middle as you can as a sideways throw will shave off quite a few meters from what you could achieve.
3) aim for a 45 degree angle. There will be no way you can do this with much of a margin each side. You have perhaps 43 - 47 degrees to play with.
Bobs your uncle the achievment is yours.
