Hammer throwing, one of the throwing events in track and field, was developed into a sport centuries ago in Ireland, Scotland, and England. Legends trace it back in various forms to the Tailteann games held in Tara, Ireland, around in 1829 BC.

The hammer throw might be the most dangerous event in the sport of track and field. It injures, and occasionally kills, more athletes and spectators per year than any other track and field event. Because of its inherent danger, it has been banned from most high school programs across the country.

Most hammer heads weigh anywhere between 16 and 22 ounces.

Javelin Throw Weights High school Javelin is only competed in 14 states in America, but it is competed across the United States in open meets. The standard weight for men is 800 grams or just over 1.76 pounds. For women, it is 600 grams, or a little more than 1.32 pounds.

That’s a far cry from modern javelin feats—the world record for men, set in 1996, is 323.1 feet.

120 feet is the entry point to high-level discus throwing. If you are serious about getting to the next level with your throws, these are essential weight room numbers to hit. Always remember however that these numbers are averages. Some throwers may not get close to these numbers and be able to throw over 120 feet.

“For a male, 60 feet is a heck of a throw, but 55 feet is a nice throw,” Wood said. “For women 50 feet is an excellent throw and anything above that is really good.”
