    Discus. The Discus is made of wood and metal. The men's discus is 22 cm. In diameter and weighs 2 kg. The
women's discus is 18 cm. In diameter and weighs 1 kg. The discuss is held flat against the palm and the
forearm, and is thrown by an athlete who stands in a throwing circle 2.5 m. in diameter. The athlete turns
one-and-a-half times inside the circle before releasing the discus. Athletes must not leave the circle until the
discuss has landed.

    Hammer Throw. The hammer is a 7.26 kg. Metal ball attached to a 121.5 cm. Of steel wire with a
handle. It is thrown by the athlete from inside a throwing circle 2.1 m. in diameter. The thrower swings the
hamme in an arch and at the same time spins his body around before letting go of the hammer. Athletes must
not leave the circle until the hammer has landed.

weigh .600 g. and measure 2.2 to 2.3 m. long. The shaft can be wood or metal, but the tip is always steel. For
a throw to be successful, the metal tip must break the turf. Javelin throwers wear spikes and sprint down a
runway to a line from where they must throw the javelin from over their shoulder. If they cross the line, the
throw is not counted.
