Discus

The discus throw, which is a track and field event, was one of the five events included in the pentathlon in the ancient Greek Olympic Games. To compete in the discus throw the participant is required to throw a disc shaped object as far as possible, ensuring that it lands within a 40 degree sector. The participant must not step outside of a circular boundary. Marble statue, "Discobolus", by Byron. MORE! [BM] {NR}
