How to unlock the Human Catapult achievement in Olympic Games: London 2012 - Definitive Guide
Choose easy difficulty and create a custom playlist. Add each of the throwing events to the playlist (Discus, Javelin and Shot Put). The throwing events can be found in the Field Events section. On the Shot Put event it is fairly easy to build your power right up to max, when putting this together with the optimum angle (35 degrees) you will achieve a long throw (I got Olympic record on my 2nd try). The Javelin is slightly different in that you have to slowly build up your speed (if you tap too fast you will slow down) and keep a nice rhythm to make the bar green, couple this with the optimum angle and you will achieve a nice distance. The discus is slightly different, follow the button prompts with your analogue stick to build up the speed and lock it in, then it is just down to the angle of your throw (aim for 45 degrees), good speed and a good angle will get you a gold medal. Once you have won all 3 gold medals, the trophy will pop up.
