Canadian Scottish Athletic Federation
Mike Martin
Canada
At first glance, Mike does not seem to possess a typical thrower's body. However, underestimating the man would be a huge mistake, as he is a master of last second accellerations, snapping the weights out much further than you would expect for the few games he has attended. Natural explosiveness aside, he has also taken the games seriously and is already working to improve his technique. By the 2003 season, he will be another athlete pushing the envelope of the open class.
