Brief history about Discus throw

The discus gamble, where a contender hurls a heavy slice, was one of the events at the Ancient Olympics. It was introduced in the ancient Greek pentathlon event– running, long jump, discus gamble, pikestaff gamble, and wrestling– and can be dated back to 708 BC.
The discipline would be later re-discovered by Christian Georg Kohlrausch and his scholars in the 1870s.
The men’s discus gamble event also came as a part of the Olympics at the veritably first edition at Athens in 1986.
The discus gamble is also part of the ultramodern decathlon.
It should also be noted that Frantisek Janda- Suk, a Czech athlete, was the first ultramodern athlete to throw the discus while rotating the whole body. The fashion also helped him earn a tableware order at the 1900 Olympics in Paris.

The weight of the discus is fixed at 2 kg for the men and 1 kg for women. The essence slice is principally thrown by an athlete by standing outside a circle with a periphery of 2.5m.
Discus fliers aren’t allowed to touch the top of the hem of the throwing circle, but can touch the inside edges of it.
The athletes are also banned from touching the ground beyond the circle.
And if the athlete crosses the circle before the slice lands on the ground also it’s considered a foul gamble.
There’s also a particular boundary marked for landing the slice and if lands beyond also the gamble is considered invalid.
Each athlete is given eight attempts at the Olympics to mark their stylish possible gamble.

Athletes achieving the Olympic qualification mark represent the country at the Games.
Each country is allowed to shoot three discus fliers at the event.
From the qualifying event, only 12 athletes with the stylish throws can make it to the final.
Every contender is allowed three attempts to mark their stylish gamble. Grounded on the original three attempts, the top eight are allowed another three chances and their positions are decided based on the longest gamble.
In case of a tie- swell, the alternate-stylish gamble, determines the winner.
The dimension is made from the first point where the discus breaks the ground to the inside of the bow of the throwing circle with a tape recording.
The officers hold the tape recording in such a way that the zero end is at the point where the discus broke the field and also the measuring tape recording is drawn to the center of the throwing circle.
Still, the distance is measured till the point where the tape recording crosses the inside edge of the circumference of the circle.

The discus can be made of wood, plastic, fiberglass or essence with an indirect edge and metallic hem.
It should be 22 cm in the periphery for men and 18 cm for women.
The inner construction of the discus can either be solid or concave while the cross section of the edge should have a compass of 6 mm.
It should be also kept in mind that the sides of the discus are identical and free from any sharp edges without any irregularities in the design.
The finishing of the slice should also be made smooth in order to help the athletes to grip it duly.

The construction of the pen around the throwing circle is done for the purpose of safety of the observers from a mis thrown discus.
It should be made in such a way that it can withhold a slice of nearly 2 kg coming at a speed of 25m/ sec.

It should also be made in a way that the discus does not rebound towards the athlete after hitting it.
The pen is made in’ U shape’ and one side of it’s open for the discus to pass. At the smallest point the height of the network point should be 4m and synthetic or natural fiber is used.
