Hammer Throw

Hammer throw or "hammer throw" is part within the Athletics in which a ball, which is attached to a steel cable with a handle, as far as possible should be thrown out. The name "hammer throw" is derived from older competitions where an actual hammer was thrown. Such competitions are still in the Scottish Highland Games, where one uses a steel or lead weight at the end of a stick. Akin to the hammer throw is the weight throw, where the projectile is a heavier bullet to a short chain (see photo).

Men's hammer throw is an Olympic sport since 1900. For women, the IAAF the League pass in in 1995, and it allowed for the first time on the program at the 2000 Summer Olympics of Sydney.

The current world record for men was established by Yuriy Sedykhwho threw 86,74 m on the European Athletics Championships in Stuttgart in 1986. The current world record for women was established by Anita Włodarczyk Internationales Stadionfest, while in Berlin in 2014. They threw 79,58 m.

The bullet for men, 7.26 kilos (16 English pounds), in the women's 4 km.The measuring object ring 2, 135 m (7 feet) in diameter. The distance of the throw depends on a number of factors: the speed of the pendulum ball when released, the vertical angle at which is rolled and, of course, the right direction. The ball shall be made within a certain area (the object sector) stream. The ball beyond, or get the athlete from the discard ring (for example, by the loss of the balance), the pitch will be void.

The speed of the ball is huge. At the Centre is the speed at the world's top women at about 97 km/hour the men even 104 km/h. Such a projectile is deadly and in the course of the time are therefore become more and more stringent safety regulations. The industry in which the ball should countries is narrower created and now stands at 34.92 °, but it is particularly important to the object the object cage that sector should be made. The wall of the cage consists of a net of sturdy rope and in the opening of the cage doors on either side. At right-handed pitchers is left handed the left door close, at right. The opening is 6 meters wide (with the door shut 4 m) and must now 7 feet before the Centre of the throwing ring (it was until 2004 4, 20 m; many cages will still need to be adapted). The doors of the car must be 10 metres high (was: 7 m). All this makes the bullet almost no longer outside the sector can land, but also has as a result that the handle at a ball thrown in the right direction sometimes it just touches, which will yield a lesser subject distance. The object (st) ers respond here phlegmatic on, safety must be listed first. ==Technique[ Edit] == "Hammer throw" on the Highland Gamesin Scotland (2007).A bullet, used for the weight throw. The largest distances are achieved by the ball several times around the head to rotate, and then work quickly with the ball before it let go in front in the throwing circle. Many topwerp (st) ers make four turns in the ring, however, also for three turns. A few five run but the world record in the men's race is thrown after three turns. Adding an extra twist means that the bullet will be more express, but also means that the chance of further balance sheet distortion. For most is the optimum therefore at three or four turns, a turn more does not lead to better performance. Balance is very important and makes that hammer throw less heavy than the layman might think. Perhaps it is also more difficult than at first glance, the song requires a very long learning period. ==History[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p len="1863" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Hammer throw was invented by the ancient Greeks in about [http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=nl&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Fnl.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F12e_eeuw_v.Chr. 1200 BC]. It began, as the legend tells, all with Punius that evil was on his father. He was not allowed to take part in the track and field competitions, because his father felt he was too young. He was so mad, that he is his father's favorite ball on a rope bond and began to swing. When he released the rope flew the ball a long way away. The goddess Athens that the throw had seen, went to Punius and gave him a tip. She said he had to show this to Kroton, the boss of the athletics stadium in Olympia. Punius did that and saw a new sport in Kroton. ==World Record Development<span class="mw-editsection" len="345" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===Men<span class="mw-editsection" len="327" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ===Women<span class="mw-editsection" len="328" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p lang="en" len="54" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">*: World record that the IAAF is recognized.
