Metal balls of iron or steel

Answer 2

Answer:

• In the shot put event athletes throw a metal ball.
• The men's college and Olympic shot weighs 16 pounds.
• The women's college and Olympic shot weighs 4 kilograms (8.8 pounds).
• This sport actually started with a cannonball throwing competition in the Middle Ages.
• The shot is thrown from a concrete circle that is 7 feet in diameter. The front of the circle has a metal board called a toe board.
• The athlete cannot touch the top of the toe board or step over it during the throw.
• The athlete holds the shot close to his/her neck in one hand. There are two common throwing techniques: The first has the athlete slide or "glide" from the back to the front of the circle before releasing the shot.
• The second has the athlete spin in the circle (like the discus) before releasing the shot.
• With either technique the goal is to build momentum and finally push or "put" the shot in the direction of the legal landing area.
• The athlete must stay in a circle until the shot has landed.
• The athlete that throws it furthest from the front part of the circle (and within the legal area) wins.
