Hint:
Hammer throw: The hammer throw is one of the more inconsistent events in the
game. Use your favorite technique to do fast, clockwise circles. Note: Your
power here does not necessarily have to be glowing red; orange-red will do.
Stop the power meter at the farthest left side of the throwing area as
possible. The red ball can be hanging about one third over the line to still
constitute a legal throw. Set your angle at either 43 or 45 degrees for the
best possible throw. The game will only let you stop on 43, 45 or 48 degrees
usually, and 48 is too high. This technique should land 101+ meter throws
and set some great records.
The best way to get long
distances is to build up power fast enough so that you can release the
hammer when it is directly in the middle of the two lines. If you do this
and get the angle at either 43 or 45 degrees, you should consistently get
gold medals.
Hint:
Javelin throw: The sun gets in the lens at one point during this event. If you
are having trouble with the fouls in this event, try to set your angle
before you get the sun in your lens.
Hint:
100 meter dash and 100 meter freestyle swimming: While button pushing, all you need is consistency. In both
events, you need to develop a system that will help you jump "out of
the blocks" before the rest of the field. Try counting down
3...2...1...after the word "Set" disappears on the 100 meter dash.
In the 100 meter freestyle, use that same system once your swimmer's hands
have come to a complete rest on the stand. In each event you should then
button press as fast as possible to build a lead, then maintain a very even
and moderately fast button pressing system. This allow you to break records
consistently. Note: It is possible to get less than 9.45 seconds in the 100
meter dash. The game obviously locks you in at certain times and distances
throughout the events.
Hint:
Pole vault: To unlock this event, get a gold medal in the first eight events
and at least a silver medal in High Jump and Triple Jump. In the pole vault
event, it is impossible to vault 7.00 meters. However you can vault 6.99
meters quite easily. Vault 5.50 on your first attempt, then when
successfully cleared, attempt 6.00 meters, which is still an easy vault and
puts you in first place. Finally, after you have successfully completed
that, attempt 6.99 meters. You should be able to clear it rather easily if
you are good. However, at 7.00 meters once you advance, the game will always
stop your recovery bar at the same two spots around the stop arrow - a
fraction of an inch before or slightly farther after the stop arrow.
Hint:
Trap Shooting: Get a gold in all the events (Including High Jump, Triple Jump,
and Vault) to unlock this event.
Hint:
High Jump: Get a medal in all eight events in trial mode to unlock the High
Jump. This event is almost identical to the Pole Vault. In this event,
anything lower than a 43 degree angle will make your athlete jump with too
much forward force, making him hit his head on the bar. Always start your
jump before the middle of the jump zone and go for a 45 or 48 degree angle
jump. It is fairly easy to get your power to glowing red in this event, so
build it up.
Hint:
Triple Jump: Get a medal in all eight events in trial mode to unlock the
Triple Jump. This is one of the hardest events in the game. You must be able
to tap the buttons with a lot of speed (as in the 100m Dash), have excellent
reflexes (as in the Horizontal Bar Gymnastics), and a good eye for a line (
as in the High Jump and Long Jump). Get your power up to the orange-yellow
color so you have good jump length. Make sure you tap the button very close
to the white line for that extra little amount of length in your jump, and
try to get a "Good" rating in the timing meter. If you are lucky,
a "Great" might surprise you. However, you should not try to get
that rating, because you will most likely foul.
Hint:
Weightlifting: This is an event that requires some patience. You should not try
the Clean or Jerk portion until your power is at least halfway inside the
"OK" zone. Then, it is just timing. Do not overdo it on the hold
for 3 part. If you try to get too fast in your button pressing, you are
bound to press the same button twice and make your meter slip. If this
happens when your already into the "OK" zone, you might slip out
of it when you are still being counted off. The maximum weight may be
impossible because the "OK" meter is very small in size, making it
impossible to get the bar to lock inside it. Note: It is possible to get
280.0 kg, but it is very difficult.
