I had my first proper try :D

I even have a video 8)

But it was not done in a proper circle, so does that count?

Well where is it you big tease?

Proper shot put as invented by the Scots wasn't done in a proper circle so I think we'll allow it :wink:

jp,

you know its bad when you are setting up and one can't tell whether you are going to do use the spin or glide technique. i think the 'splide' technique was ruled out within 5 minutes of its inception.
Are you doing enough to be the best?

OK, put me down for 7.24m.

Here's an article, for bandwagon jumpers, on basic shot put technique that I probably should have read before heading out to the park with Joni today.

How much does a shot put weight? I might approximate with a weight if it's 2,5,10 or 1.25kg, but I aint buying or stealing one specially.

I almost bought a shotput the other week, but my local sports store only stocks junior weights. :( The quest continues.
