The final round of the hammer throw event comes down to a soldier, a farmer, and Larry, who lives with his parents.

The soldier throws first: 85 meters.  Interviewed later, he says, “I’m from a military family, which gives me discipline.”

Then the farmer throws: 88 meters.  He tells reporters, “I’m from a farming family.  This gives me strength.”

It’s Larry’s turn.  He slings the hammer 95 meters, winning gold!  Later, he explains, “I’m from a long line of lazy people and I was taught, ‘If anyone ever puts a hammer in your hand, throw it as far away as you can.’”
