Discus Throw Winners at the Olympic Games

Discus throw at the Olympic Games...

Discus throw is a track and field event in which an athlete throws a heavy disc – called a discus – in an attempt to mark a greater distance than his competitors. It is an ancient game, as demonstrated by the fifth-century-BC Myron statue Discobolas.
Discus throw, the first modern competition, has been part of the modern Summer Olympic Games since the 1896 Summer Olympics. Images of discus throwers feature prominently in advertising for early modern games, such as fundraising tickets for the 1896 Games, main posters of the 1920 and 1948 Summer Olympics. Today the sport of discus is a regular part of modern track-and-field meets at all levels, and holds a particularly coveted place in the Olympic Games.

Poster for the 1920 Summer Olympics:

The first modern athlete to throw a body-twisting discus was Frantisek Janda-Suk from Bohemia (present-day Czech Republic). He invented this technique while studying the position of the famous statue of Discobolus. He earned a silver medal at the 1900 Olympics after only a year of developing the technique.

Women's discus throw:

Women's competition began in the first decades of the 20th century. After competition at the national and regional levels, it has been the discus throw for women at the Olympics since the 1928 Amsterdam Summer Games.
