HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The shot put can be traced to Irish and the Scottish chieftains who kept stones at their doors in
order to hold throwing contests as to measure masculinity. A fictional account of tournaments
featuring King Arthur's knights in the 11th century mentions that "casting the stone" was a
popular activity in British holiday festivals (Birley, 1936). In the 1300s, during the Black
Plague and war against France, there was a ban on civilian sports, including casting the stone,
so that able men could concentrate on archery and other skills needed for battle (Birley 1936).

Contd.
The name of the event has changed several times over the years. By the 19 th Century, "casting of
the stone" was generally referred to as "putting of the weight." The word "put" is an old Scottish
verb meaning to thrust. This term came to be used when the throwing action was restricted to
require keeping the weight on the neck and not letting the elbow lead the hand. A "weight" is an
old English measure equalling 16 pounds, which is still the weight of the modern men's
competition shot. The name 'shot,' comes from the occasional substitution of a cannon ball for a
stone from the middle ages onward. The shot put was included in the first modern Olympics
although it was not an event that originated in Greece. In the 1904 Games, there was an additional
competition with a 65-lb heavy shot, probably in the tradition of the original Scottish heavy
events.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The javelin throw is also a Greek event that evolved from the use of spears in battle. The
competition javelin was about six feet long, smaller and lighter than the spears used by the
military. The ancient javelin was made out of wood and had an amentum or small loop made of
rope attached behind the centre of mass that helped the thrower carry the javelin and assist in
creating additional force and a rotational spin during the flight of the javelin. Wood was used until
the late 1980s when aluminium replaced it. It is likely that the javelin throwers in ancient Greece
were required to aim at a target during competition and were judged on distance and accuracy.
Competitors were required to aim at fixed targets as late as the 19th century.
Contd.
In accounts of festivals and sports in medieval Britain, there is mention of "hurling the lance," which is
possibly the javelin throw, and throwing metal objects called diskos, which could have been British-
style discuses (Birley 36). The Roman conquest of western Europe may have brought versions of the
javelin and discus to the region. Although the javelin is one of the oldest events and a cornerstone of the
ancient Olympic Games, it was not introduced in the modern Olympics until 1908. Early competitions
allowed free-style grips, and, like the discus, required athletes to throw with their left and right hands
(Encyclopaedia of Track and Field 196).

 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

 The discus was invented by the Greeks and is described in mythological writings: there are several
theories that attempt to explain the origins of the event. One account states that soldiers travelling
across bodies of water who needed to unload excess weight before crossing would throw their round
saucer shaped shields across the water onto the bank on the other side. The discus developed into a
competitive event and the earliest discus competitors probably used rounded stones found on river
banks. Eventually, the Greeks began to use bronze and iron to make the implements in a round plate-
like shape (Drees, 1972).
 There are few references of the discus throw after the end of the ancient Olympic games. The event
was reintroduced in the early modern Olympic competitions where the throwing method was similar
to the freestyle technique of ancient Greece. Competitors were required to throw with both the left
and right hands until 1912, and this style was practiced in other competitions until 1920.
