    Shot Put
    The shotput is a track and field event in which the, participant stands
    in a circle and tries to “put” a weighted ball as far as they can. It is
    quite different to a throw due to the motion of the arm it dates back to
    ancient times when people threw rocks for distance.

    The world record holder for women shotput is Natalya Lisovskya


    with 22.63 meters. The record holder for males is Ryan Crouser
    with 23.30 meters. The sport has been a part of the modern
    Olympics since their revival in 1896.

    To throw a shot put, the chest knee and toe should be in line with
    each other and the thrower must place the shot to his/her neck.
    The non-throwing arm must be extended out from the body with a
    right angle relationship to the throwing elbow. The thrower must
    then push the shot off their neck and turn the hips.
    Long Jump
    The Long jump is a captivating track and field event that showcases an athlete’s explosive power,
    speed and technique.In this event participants sprint down a runaway leaping forward into a sandpit, try
    to get the best horizontal distance possible.The history of Long Jump can be traced back to Ancient
    Greece, where it was part of their Pentathlon know as Olympic Games now.The modernized version of
    Long Jump started in the 1896 Olympic games. The medal are gold, silver and bronze if you win.Over
    a time period this event has turned into one of the most known events in athletics history.

    Throughout the years, the long jump has witnessed a remarkable evolution in both techniques and
    records. Athletes continue to develop their approaches, seeking the optimal combination of speed and
    precision during takeoff.The most commonly used technique is in flight are the tucks in which knees
    are brought towards the chest and the hitch kick, which is in effect a continuation of the run in the air.
    The winner is the one who makes the single longest longest jump over the course of the preliminary
    and final rounds. In 1935 Jesse Owens of United States set a record of 8.13 metres that was not broken
    until 1960 by Bob Beamon who held the record of 8.90metres from 1968 until 1991, when it was
    broken by American Mike Powell who leapt 8.95metres.

    The current world records in the world of Long jumps were executed amazingly.Mike Powell with his
    amazing 8.95metres in Long Jump has not been broken since 1992.The woman world record is Galina
    Chistyakova of Russia. She hold a record of 7.52 metres.

    grams (1.3 pounds) in weight.

    After a short run, the javelin is thrown directly forward. It


    must land point first otherwise it would be a foul. The
