Shot Put Description and History

 Shot Put Description and History

It is an event that competes with how far the shot is thrown by human power. It belongs to the throwing event along with javelin throwing, discus throwing, hammer throwing, etc.

Since the Chinese word for shot put, "throwing shot," means throwing, expressions such as "throwing shot put" and "throwing shot put" correspond to double words. You should write 'Shot Throw' and 'Shot Throw' respectively.

The shot is thrown in a minced circle with a diameter of 2.135 meters. The shot has a smooth spherical surface, is less flexible than iron and brass, or is filled with lead inside these metals, weighing more than 7.257kg for men, 110-130mm in diameter, 4kg for women, and 95-110mm in diameter.

It is the heaviest track and field throwing event, and unlike hammer throwing, it has to throw only with arm strength without the help of rotational power, so it has the lowest record. It has a higher foul rate than other throwing events, and has a lot of wrist and back injuries, so wrist guards or waist belts can be worn to reduce wrist and spine injuries.

The shot put game started with a competition to throw heavy objects far away in a primitive sense.

In general, Homer's description of the history of the Trojan War was the first to show that stone throwing was competitive, but there are few records that such an event actually took place in the Greek Olympic Games. It was in Scotland in the first century that a long throw similar to a shot put reappeared as an official record as a game. Later, in the 16th century, records often show that King Henry of England organized heavy throwing events such as hammer throwing, indicating that heavy throwing games, a primitive form of shot put, were one of the most common games in Europe. 토토사이트

Since then, this style has developed into an official sport since the 1800s in Scotland and the British University Athletics Championships around 1850. Based on this point, it is common to say that the shot put game has become a basic style and framework as a sports event, going one step further from the simple heavy object throwing game. As a result, shot put has been an official sport since the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896, and the women's event has been adopted as an official sport since the 1948 London Olympics, making it a form of track and field.
