On March 10, 2014, Rick Mercer spent the day with the University of Lethbridge Pronghorn Athletics throwing team filming for an episode of the Rick Mercer Report on CBC.

While Mercer was tutored on the finer points of throwing the weight, shot put and javelin by some of the country's best athletes, he also took time to have a little fun with the group as they heaved a number of pizzas in the quest to discover which flew farthest, thick or thin crust.

Check out the Rick Mercer Report on Mar. 25 for the full video.
