Discus Throwing

The discus is a great event. The distance that the competitors can throw that thing is amazing. There is a lot of skill involved and a lot of strength required. So how do yo u throw a discus? Well this hub has more details about the discus, how to throw one and more.


About the Discus Throw

The discus can be held with either a split (with even space between all fingers) or a grip where the index and middle finger are touching and even spacing exists between the rest of the fingers. Either way the discus should rest on the last joints (closest to the fingernails). Delivery will be against and from the index finger joint with discus spinning clockwise for a right handed thrower. The thumb should rest on top of the discus. When the discus is delivered it will leave the athletes hand at shoulder height. Attempts to change the angle of release result in a throw that plows through the air. A good throw will appear flat and have an angle of release around 40 degrees.
