throwing equipment

Throwing equipment refers to various tools and implements used in sports and athletic competitions to measure strength, skill, and technique in throwing events. Common examples include the javelin, which is a spear-like object thrown for distance; the discus, a heavy, flat disc that athletes throw from a circular area; the shot put, a heavy spherical object pushed rather than thrown; and the hammer, a heavy weight attached to a long handle, swung in a circular motion before being released. Each piece of equipment is designed for specific events, and its use requires practice and precision.
