Discus Throw : To perform this discipline, an athlete must have a certain physicality that allows him to overcome the force of the disc without being carried, thus remaining stable until the final phase when he must actually throw. Generally, therefore, disc throwers must have good explosive strength but also a lot of balance for the movement of preparation for the throw. Discus throwing always takes place outdoors, therefore outside, on a circular platform, with an internal diameter of 2.50 m, surrounded by a cage to protect spectators, judges and other competitors from a possible badly thrown disc.
