The shot put and discus.
In athletics, the three primary throwing implements are the shot put, discus, and javelin. The shot put involves a heavy metal sphere thrown from a designated circle, while the discus is a flat, disc-shaped object thrown from a similarly marked area. The javelin is a long, spear-like implement thrown for distance, with competitors aiming to achieve the farthest throw possible. Each event requires unique techniques and skills tailored to the specific implement.
A discus is a very heavy stone that was thrown by men. The discus was an indicator of great strength and heroism.
A discus is a disc, and a shot put is a metal ball
The distance thrown in discus throw is measured from the inner edge of the throwing circle to the point of impact where the discus first touches the ground. The official measuring tape is used to determine the distance.
