compare and contrast shot put and discus

         
shot put- The Athlete should take up the position with the weight over the right foot and should be encouraged to think of "chin-knee-toe" being vertically in line. The feet and hips should be facing the side (at right angles to the shoulders) and the shoulder "cocked" to the rear. The width of the stance will vary according to the height of the athlete but the feet should be aligned. Note the position of the left hand and arm.From this standing position the movement should be initiated by the right leg driving the right hip to the front transferring the bodyweight from the right leg to the left leg. At the same time, the left arm comes forward and up pointing along the trajectory line the shot will take. During this action, the emphasis should be on a fast right hip, keeping the elbow up behind the shot.As the hips face the front and forward, then the right shoulder is driven to the front and the left arm swings to the left side to balance the movement. When the chest is facing forward then the right arm punches the shot out, keeping the elbow high. The left shoulder must not be allowed to drop during any part of this movement and the athlete should think of keeping the left side braced.
discus- Place the left hand under the discus for support.Place the right hand on top of the discus.  Spread the fingers evenly but not stretched. The first joint of the fingers curling over the rim of the discus. Do not to grip the discus. Allow the discus to rest on the first joint of the fingers with the tips of the fingers over the rim.
