Question

What will be the decision of the judge when an athlete steps out of the throwing circle while attempting a throw in a discus event group?

Answer 1

In discus throw, an athlete must throw the discus from inside a circle with a diameter of 2.5 m. During the throw, touching the top of the rim is not allowed, though the inner edge may be touched. The athlete must not step outside the circle while making the throw; doing so results in disqualification by the judge.
