Wind has played a significant role in world distance records. Wiggins' 2012 record was set with a 14.5 mph tailwind, while Lizotte's 2014 record was aided by a 18 mph tailwind. His 903.9 ft throw took place in a 30 mph wind, and the two players' throws over 1,000 ft were in a 38-42 mph wind. Both Lizotte and Wiggins have stated that new distance records must be established with wind limits.
