NOTE

SHOT PUT

Shot put is a track and field event that involves throwing a heavy metal ball, known as the shot, as far as possible. The shot is pushed, rather than thrown, from the athlete's shoulder using a specific technique. Here is an overview of the shot put event:

Equipment:

  1. Shot: A heavy metal ball weighing 7.26 kg (16 pounds) for men and 4 kg (8.8 pounds) for women, with a diameter of 110-130 mm for men and 95-110 mm for women.
  2. Circle: A concrete circle with a 2.135-meter (7 feet) diameter rim, within which the athlete must initiate their throw.
  3. Stopboard: A raised wooden board approximately 10 cm (4 inches) high, placed at the front of the circle, which the athlete must not step over or touch during the throw.

Technique:

  1. Starting position: The athlete stands at the back of the circle, facing the opposite direction of the throwing sector. The shot is held in the throwing hand, typically placed under the chin or near the shoulder. The non-throwing arm is extended sideways for balance.
  2. Glide: The athlete begins their throw by explosively extending their legs and gliding across the circle toward the stopboard while rotating their body.
  3. Delivery: As the athlete reaches the front of the circle, they bend their legs and thrust their hips forward to generate power. The throwing arm is extended upward and outward, releasing the shot at an angle of approximately 40-45 degrees.

Rules:

  1. Athletes must start their throw within the circle and must not step on or over the stopboard or circle rim during the throw.
  2. The shot must land within the throwing sector, a 34.92-degree arc extending from the circle's center.
  3. The throw is measured from the inside edge of the circle to the point where the shot first lands.
  4. Competitors typically have three or four attempts, depending on the competition rules, and their best valid throw is recorded as their result.
