Tag:athletics=discus_throw

Discus throw also known as disc throw, is a track and field event in which an athlete throws a heavy disc — called a discus — in an attempt to mark a farther distance than their competitors.

On satellite images, you can see the circle from which the throw is made (diameter 2.5 m). A net is required, which can be drawn separately (barrier=fence). And a grass area for the throwing lane can be recognized.
