Discuss throw

Discus throw:

a) grip: the thrower holds the discuss on the last crease of the fingers with the fingers spread or the first two fingers placed together.

b). preliminary swings: The thrower begins by standing at the circle with the legs bent slightly and the weight on the balls of the feet, the thrower initiates several preliminary swings, shifting the weight from the right foot in a horizontal plane.

c). turn: at the end of the final swing to the right, with the discuss as far back as the thrower can reach, the thrower prepares to enter the turn, pivoting over the left leg. The right leg is picked up and moves in an arc toward the front of the circle as the left leg drives forward. the legs and hips are kept ahead of the shoulders as the turn is performed.

d).power position: after the right foot lands in the middle of the circle, the thrower keeps pivoting until the left leg lands slightly bent. the thrower is now in a power position with the legs bent and the shoulders and the throwing arm back in a torqued position.

e). follow_through: the right hip drives through as the bent legs drive upward and the weight shifts to she left leg. the throwing arm is whipped through by this powerful leg/trunk action.
