Frequently asked
How heavy is a shot put ball?
Men's shot put weighs 16 pounds (7.26 kg) while women's weighs 8.8 pounds (4 kg). That's like throwing a bowling ball or large watermelon as far as possible using only upper body strength and technique.
What's the world record for shot put?
American Randy Barnes holds the men's record at 75 feet 10 inches, set in 1990. The women's record belongs to Soviet athlete Natalya Lisovskaya at 74 feet 3 inches, achieved in 1987.
Why do shot put throwers spin before throwing?
The spinning technique, called the rotational method, helps generate more speed and momentum than the older glide technique. The circular motion allows throwers to build up rotational energy before releasing the shot.
