In discus throw, the athlete spins in a circle inside a throwing ring and releases a heavy discus. The momentum generated from the spinning motion is transferred to the discus, allowing it to be thrown long distances. The throw is measured from the landing point of the discus to the inner edge of the throwing circle.
Shot put: In shot put, athletes throw a heavy metal ball as far as possible from a circle. Javelin throw: Athletes throw a long spear-like implement called a javelin as far as possible within a designated sector. Discus throw: In discus throw, athletes throw a heavy circular disc as far as they can from a circle within a designated sector.
As far as I know, I AM... My name is Carmen Ionesco and I am the Canadian record holder with a throw of 64,92m.
You can easily find a list on many history websites but it included sports like fights to the death, chariot races, discus I think it was called when they throw a shield/Frisbee thing as far as possible and marathons too.

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.
on my track team and according to the league standards from where i live (southeast PA), 94 feet it a pretty decent throw. IF you are a 14 year old girl and are throwing it that far you should be pretty happy with yourself. good work.
