description: "Aleksandr Dryhol is a Ukrainian-born Israeli, formerly Ukrainian and Soviet track and field athlete primarily known for the Hammer throw. He was selected to compete for Ukraine in the 2012 Summer Olympics, his first Olympic selection at the age of 46. He is the current world record holder in the M45 division of masters athletics at 79.42 m. In 2016, at the age of 50, he switched his country of eligibility to Israel, where he had been living for several years. On 1 June, with a 77.70 m (254 ft 11 in) throw in Jablonec nad Nisou, he qualified for the Olympics again. At that point in time he was the #7 thrower in the world that year. For the second time, he would have been the oldest competitor in Athletics competition at the Olympics. His throw does not count as a Masters M50 world record because the implement he throws for open competition is 1.26 kg heavier than the normal implement for the M50 age group. His throw was almost 6 meters further than Jud Logan's record with the lighter implement. He is the last remaining active athlete to have competed for the Soviet Union."
