Hammer throw
Throwing event in track and field competitions
Hammer throw
The hammer throw is one of the four throwing events in regular outdoor track-and-field competitions, along with the discus throw, shot put and javelin. The hammer used in this sport is not like any of the tools also called by that name. It consists of a metal ball attached by a steel wire to a grip. These three components are each separate and can move independently. Both the size and weight of the ball vary between men's and women's events. The men's hammer weighs 7.26 kilograms (16 lb) for college and professional meets; the women's hammer weighs 4 kilograms (8.8 lb).
