The discus, the object to be thrown, is a heavy lenticular disc with a diameter of 220 mm (8.66 inches) and a weight of two kilograms (4 lb 7 oz) for the men's event, and one kg (2 lb 3 oz) for the women's, with a smaller diameter of 181 mm (7.17 inches). In U.S. high school track and field, boys typically throw a discus weighing 1.616 kg (3 lb 9 oz) and the girls throw the 1 kg (2.2 lb) women's disc.
More weight in the rim would reduce or flatten any wobble out of the discus quicker so it would be more aerodynamic. The smoother the flight, the farther it will fly. At the release, the smoothness and proper angle are very important to distance.
Russian women have won 32 total medals so far in the 2012 Olympic games in London.
