Bob Fitch
[edit]- ... that discus throw world record breaker Bob Fitch created his own throwing technique and wrote a university thesis on the subject?

New enough and long enough. QPQ checks. Article is free from bias, tags or disputes. There was no inline citation for him inventing the technique at the article, so I added one. One of the sources in the article states he was the co-creator, and that is what appeared in the article. The other source states only he was credited with the invention, and that is implied in the DYK hook. I've changed the wording in the article to match the DYK hook, and accordingly used the source that only credits the technique to him. Duplicates detector is down so I haven't checked for close paraphrasing; i'm assuming good faith for that considering the nominators extensive experience at DYK.
