In the Olympic game of discus throw, competitors must throw a heavy disc-shaped object called a discus from a circular area measuring 2.5 meters in diameter. The thrower must keep one foot inside the circle and cannot step outside the boundary during the throw. The distance of the throw is measured from the edge of the circle to where the discus first makes contact with the ground, and athletes typically have a set number of attempts to achieve their best throw. Throws that land outside the designated sector or involve any fouls are disqualified.

The first official discus throw event in modern athletics was held in 1880.
