This ancient sport dates back to the fifth-century-BC Myron statue, Discobolus, demonstrating its long history. Although not part of the modern pentathlon, it was an event in the ancient Greek pentathlon, which began as early as 708 BC. The sport of throwing the discus originated from being a part of the original Olympic Games of Ancient Greece. Christian Georg Kohlrausch and his students revived the sport in Magdeburg, Germany, during the 1870s. Organized men's competition resumed in the late 19th century and has been a part of the modern Summer Olympic Games since the first modern competition, the 1896 Summer Olympics. The discus thrower is featured prominently in early modern Games advertising, such as fundraising stamps for the 1896 games, main posters for the 1920 and 1948 Summer Olympics. Today, the sport is a routine part of modern track-and-field meets at all levels and retains its iconic place in the Olympic Games. The first modern athlete to throw the discus while rotating their entire body was František Janda-Suk from Bohemia (present Czech Republic). He developed this technique by studying the famous statue of Discobolus. After only one year of developing the technique, he earned a silver medal in the 1900 Olympics. Women's competition began in the first decades of the 20th century and followed national and regional levels before being added to the Olympic program for the 1928 games. The men's discus weighs 2 kilograms (4.4 lb) and has a diameter of 22 centimeters (8.7 in), while the women's discus weighs 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) and has a diameter of 18 centimeters (7.1 in). Under IAAF rules, youth boys throw the 1.6 kilograms (3.5 lb) discus, junior men throw the unique 1.75 kilograms (3.9 lb) discus, and girls/women of those ages throw the 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) discus. In international competition, men throw the 2 kg discus up to age 49, the 1.5 kilograms (3.3 lb) discus is thrown by ages 50-59, and men over 60 years old throw the 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) discus. Women throw the 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) discus up to age 74, starting at 75 years old, women throw the 0.75 kilograms (1.7 lb) discus. The typical discus has sides made of plastic, wood, fiberglass, carbon fiber, or metal with a metal rim and core for weight. The rim must be smooth, without roughness or finger holds. A heavier rim produces greater angular momentum and stability but is more difficult to throw. However, a higher rim weight can lead to a farther throw if thrown correctly. To make a throw, the competitor starts in a circle of 2.5 meters (8 ft 2 1⁄4 in) diameter recessed in a concrete pad by 20 millimeters (0.79 in). The thrower typically takes an initial stance facing away from the direction of the throw and spins anticlockwise around one and a half times through the circle to build momentum, then releases the throw. The discus must land within a 34.92-degree sector, with rules virtually identical to those of shot put, except for the larger circle, lack of stop board, and form rules concerning how the discus is thrown. The basic motion is a forehanded sidearm movement where the discus spins off the index finger or middle finger of the throwing hand. In flight, the discus spins clockwise when viewed from above for right-handed throwers and anticlockwise for left-handed throwers. As well as achieving maximum momentum in the discus on throwing, the distance is also determined by the trajectory imparted by the thrower and the aerodynamic behavior of the discus. Generally, throws into a moderate headwind achieve the maximum distance. Also, a faster-spinning discus imparts greater gyroscopic stability. The technique of discus throwing is quite difficult to master and needs lots of experience to get right, thus most top throwers are 30 years old or more.
