 SHOTPUT
The shot put is a track and field
event involving "putting"
(pushing rather than throwing)
a heavy spherical ball—the
shot—as far as possible.
The shot put competition for men has been a
part of the modern Olympics since their revival
in 1896, and women's competition began in
1948.

field event. This is a game that is played solo in
competition with other players.It requires high precision
and coordination.
The athlete stands in a circular zone
and faces towards the discus-throwing
area, after which he or she has to spin
around oneself to gain momentum and
then finally throw the discus in the air.
