Randy Barnes holds the current men's world record for shot put at Using only one hand, the individual must make sure that they release the shot no lower than the same height as their own shoulder. The shot must also land within the legal distance, at minimum, While throwing, both the outside and top of the circle cannot be passed, and therefore the outside of the stop board cannot be touched either. Lastly, once the athlete has completed their throw, they must leave the circle, going out the back exit area.
There are a few fouls in which each individual participating in the shot put event must avoid committing. If a foul has been committed, the shot will not be counted. The first foul that can be called is if the player fails to stop before releasing the shot. This means that once they have entered the circle, they must pause and set up before releasing the shot.
Another way that a player's shot can be marked as a foul is if they do not complete their throw within the designated time of 60 seconds. Players must also follow the strict height guidelines, and if their shot is below the height of their shoulder, it will not be counted, and a foul will be called. And lastly, athletes must abide by the strict positioning guidelines, and if they step outside of the circle or touch the top of the iron ring, a foul will be called, and their shot will not qualify.
Unlike other team sports , shot put is scored based on distance. This means that the athlete will earn points and be ranked based on how far they throw the shot.
This distance more specifically is the length measured from the inside of the circle all the way to the very first mark that was made in the ground by the shot. Under national rules, and in competition, this distance is measured in centimeters and therefore in order to standardize scores, the distance recorded must be rounded down to the nearest whole centimeter. In shot put, a very specific piece of equipment is used. This is called the shot. The shot is a heavy metal ball.
It is typically made out of lead with an exterior steel outer shell, but it can be made of a variety of different metals. It can also weigh anywhere between eight and sixteen pounds, depending on the individual throwing it. For women, a standard competition shot weighs 8. In order to keep the sport as fair as possible, athletes are not able to wear gloves during shot put, and their designated time to throw. That being said, it is allowed for individuals to tape their fingers together in order to aid their shot.
This allowance of the usage of tape, is mainly for safety, and to avoid any potential injuries. Technically you can only get one foul in shot put, because if any single foul has been committed, then that shot will not be counted.
