So, the other day, I got this random thought stuck in my head about Deanna Price, you know, the hammer thrower. Incredible athlete. And I just wondered, “What’s her actual competition weight?” Seemed like a simple enough question, right? Oh boy, was I in for a bit of a chase.
Trying to Pin It Down
My first move, like anyone’s, was to hit up the internet. Typed in the usual “Deanna Price weight.” You get numbers, sure. Different sites, sometimes different numbers, or numbers that look like they haven’t been touched in ages. It’s not like looking up the price of milk, where it’s pretty clear.
Then it hit me – an athlete’s weight, especially for someone in a power event, isn’t some static thing. It’s a moving target! It’s not like they punch in at a certain weight every morning. They’ve got training cycles, competition phases… it’s all part of the game. So, trying to find the definitive, current weight felt like trying to catch smoke.
The Mess of Information
Here’s what I kinda pieced together from my digging:
- Official athletic profiles? Yeah, they list a weight. But is it from last year? Or the Olympics three years ago? Who knows! It’s like finding an old business card.
- News articles might drop a number, but usually only if it’s a big feature or right before a major championship. Not exactly a running tally.
- And forget about consistency. One place says X, another says Y. You start to wonder which one, if any, is spot on for right now.
It became pretty clear that unless Deanna Price herself, or her team, is putting out daily weigh-in stats (which, why would they? They’ve got actual training to do!), you’re just getting snapshots. And sometimes, those snapshots are pretty blurry or old. It’s a bit of a jumble, really. You’d think this info would be straightforward, but it’s more like piecing together a puzzle with half the pieces missing.
So, my little quest to find “Deanna Price weight” ended up being more of a lesson in how athlete stats are presented, or not presented. It’s not just a number; there’s a whole context that’s usually missing. Just one of those things you stumble into when your curiosity gets the better of you, I guess. Made me think, that’s for sure.
