History of shot put?
The shot put field event originated in the Olymipics. It was a test of strength between various athletes. The athlete who could heave the shot the farthest was the champion. Originally the shot put was a large stone. Since it has become a 16-pound ball made of a metal not softer than brass. Most of the times it is filled with lead. In older times, the athlete must stand on a wooden rectangle to throw. If he went outside of it, he fouled and his throw was discounted. At the time, a standing throw was the only way to put. Since, the rectangle has become a seven-foot circle. The glide has been developed since. It is used to gain momentum and create more force. Another type of throw has also been made. The rotational throw generates more force because of a longer push with the shot put. In shot put you are tested on strength and in some cases muscular endurance. You have to throw a heavy ball ( following some rules) as far as you can!
