hammer throws
Rotational field events
Hammer throws is the plural of hammer throw, a track and field event in which athletes spin and hurl a heavy metal ball attached to a wire and handle.
The throwing motion builds centrifugal force through rapid rotation before release.
Despite the name, the implement resembles a ball on a chain rather than a carpenter's tool.
