Hammer Throw
Did you ever try this sport? You surely need lots of strength to do it since the hammer weighs around 16 lbs.
| QUOTE |
| The modern or Olympic hammer throw is an athletic throwing event where the object to be thrown is a heavy steel ball attached with wire (maximum length 4 ft (1.22 m)) to a handle. The name "hammer throw" is derived from older competitions where an actual hammer was thrown. Such competitions are still part of the Scottish Highland Games, where the implement used is a steel or lead weight at the end of a cane handle. |
