Hints & Tips
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 this same system once
your swimmer's hands have come to a total rest on the stand. In
each event you should then button press as swiftly as possible to build
a lead, then maintain a very even and moderately fast button
pressing system. This allow you to break records constantly.
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.
Hammer throw
The hammer throw is
one of the more conflicting events in the game. Use your favorite
technique to do quick, clockwise circles.
Note:
Your power here does
not essentially have to be glowing red; orange-red will do. Stop the
power meter at the farthest left side of the throwing area as you
can. 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 normally, 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 quick enough so that you can
release the hammer when it is directly in the center of the two
lines. If you do this and get the angle at either 43 or 45 degrees,
you should consistently get gold medals.
Triple Jump
Obtain a medal in all
eight events in trial mode to access 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 more then likely foul.
Weightlifting
This is an event
that takes 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 quick 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 hard.
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.
Pole vault
To access this
event, obtain 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 not viable to vault 7.00 meters. However you can vault 6.99
meters quite easily. Vault 5.50 on your first try, then when
successfully cleared, try 6.00 meters, which is still an easy
vault and puts you in first place. Finally, after you have done that,
try 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.
Trap Shooting
Obtain a gold in every event (Including High Jump, Triple Jump, and Vault) to
access this event.
High Jump
Obtain a medal in all
eight events in trial mode to access 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 center 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.
