How is the discus thrown measured?

The discus throw is measured from the inner edge of the throwing circle to the point where the discus first lands. The farthest mark reached by the edge of the discus is considered the final measurement for the throw. The measurement is typically taken in meters or feet.

The farthest discus throw recorded is 76.8 meters (252 feet 6 inches) by Jürgen Schult of East Germany, achieved in 1986. This record still stands as the longest throw in the men's discus event. Discus throwing is an Olympic sport, and athletes aim for both distance and technique in their throws.


How is the discus throw measured?

The discus throw is measured from the landing point of the discus to the inner edge of the throwing circle in a straight line. The distance measured is commonly rounded down to the nearest whole centimeter or inch. Official measurements are taken by a judge or an automated system.


What is the diameter of the discus ring?

The diameter of the discus ring is 2.5 meters. This measurement is standard for discus throwing competitions and ensures a uniform and fair playing field for all athletes. The ring provides a designated area from which competitors must release the discus.


If an athlete rotates while throwing a discus and throws the discus in what direction will the discus fly and why?

The answer depends on which way the athlete rotates- if he is left handed, then the discus will spin counterclockwise. It will spin this way because the athlete must flick his wrist and spin the disc off his fingers when he releases the disc. If the athlete is right handed, then the disc will rotate clockwise for the same reason.
