Shot-Put Circle

A Shot-Put Circle is a specific area or ring used in the sport of shot put. It is a circular platform made of concrete or other durable materials, typically measuring 2.135 meters (7 feet) in diameter. The circle is surrounded by a metal rim or toe board that marks the boundary of the throwing area.

The Shot-Put Circle is designed to provide a stable and level surface for athletes to perform their shot put throws. It helps ensure fair competition by providing a consistent throwing surface for all participants.

In addition to the circle itself, shot put equipment typically includes a metal or rubber shot put ball, which is thrown by athletes from within the circle. The circle is marked with specific lines and measurements to indicate the throwing sector and the distance from which the shot put must be released.

Shot-Put Circles are commonly found in athletic facilities, sports complexes, and stadiums where shot put events are held. They are an essential component of the equipment needed for shot put competitions and training sessions.
