Jeremy Hunt has introduced a new sport to the Games, to go with the discus, shot put, javelin. |
Just another round of field hockey, shot put, or ping-pong at the Athens Olympics. |
She has come to dominate the pentathlon, as well as the long jump, high jump, shot put and hurdles. |
Theresa Brick came from discus and hammer throwing and Brice Singbell came from shot put. |
Chris Strickland, a member of the Mohegan tribe, will throw the javelin, shot put and discus and run the 100-meter dash. |
Women were banned from competing and spectating at the original Games, and shot put is barely 100 years old, so the direct linkage with the ancient past was tenuous. |
