Video: Olympic Athlete Pulls Out Daughter’s Tooth with a Javelin

We’ve all seen the videos of parents using their bows to remove their children’s baby teeth, but when US Olympic athlete Bryan Clay’s daughter had a loose tooth, he decided to us his javelin. Clay, who won a silver medal at the 2004 Olympics’ decathlon and a gold in 2008 by throwing a javelin 72 meters (236 feet), has retired from track and field events, but he made an exception for the video below. After watching the video it actually looked fairly painless, and you can hear his daughter Ellie calmly ask “Where’d it go?”
