Weight throw
The weight throw is a track and field event where athletes throw a heavy object, called a weight, as far as possible. The weight consists of a metal ball attached to a handle or chain. The competitor spins inside a circle to build momentum before releasing the weight into the air. Precision, strength, and technique are crucial for achieving maximum distance. This event is similar to hammer throw but often involves different weight specifications. It’s a test of power and control, with athletes aiming to send the weight farther than their competitors.
