a legal discus throw is when the thrower stays inside the ring when throwing, and the disc stays inside the field when thrown. it can be scratched if the thrower steps outside of the ringwhen throwing or walks out of the front of the ring after throw
A foul can be called if the discus is thrown and goes outside the sector...if you enter the ring from the front, if you leave the ring from the front, if something flys off of you while you are throwing, and if you step on the line (circle) while throwing.
There are many steps and it depends on how you want to throw the discus, it can be thrown as a power throw (the front of the ring) a south African (not a real way of throwing but can be used during practice to better technique), and a full spin. Had i had more time i would break it down.

The diameter of a discus ring is 96.5 inches, the rope till need to measure 48.25 inches in order to create the perfect discus-ring diameter. To ensure proper measuring, measure from the spike to the tip of the rope.Step3 Drive the spike. If the temporary discus ring is being placed on a soft surface, drive the spike into the ground to hold. If the surface is hard, have someone hold the spike in the center of the proposed ring.Step4 Take a walk. Pull the rope tight and being to walk in a circle. Using the can of spray paint, paint the ground at the tip of the rope.Step5 Erect the cage. By track and field regulations, throwing competitions must have a cage with a net surrounding the ring. This cage, while increasing safety, is an optional precaution for practice rings.
