Hammer throw

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Flanagan at the London Olympics in 1908

The hammer throw (also hammer throwing ) is a discipline of athletics or heavy athletics in which a "throwing hammer", today a metal ball on a steel wire, has to be thrown as far as possible.

The athlete has a 2.135 meter diameter (7 English foot) circle available for swinging. He uses this to first rotate the hammer with both arms in order to accelerate it as much as possible before throwing it.

The men's sling hammer, including the handle, weighs 16 pounds (7.26 kilograms ) and four kilograms for women. It has the same weight as the shot put in the shot put .

The hammer throw as a modern sport originated in Scotland and Ireland in the 19th century , where originally a weight with a wooden handle was thrown.

Hammer throw has been part of the program of the Olympic Games for men since 1900 . For women it has been held in international competitions since 1997 and in the Olympic Games since 2000 .

The best hammer throwers reach distances of 85 meters (world record: 86.74 m) for men and 80 meters (world record: 82.98 m) for women.

history

Hammer throw in Scotland

Competitions in throwing a forge hammer are documented from the Middle Ages of Ireland and Scotland. The first throws of a weight with a rigid “handle” are known from England and Ireland from the first half of the 19th century.

The rules for hammer throwing were written in England in 1887 . While the mass of the weight was set at 16 English pounds (7.257 kg) at an early stage, the type of dropping changed several times. Initially, it was allowed to take a run of any length and to cross the throwing line after the throw.

Later it was thrown out of a circle: the diameter was set at 7 English feet (2.135 m) in England in 1878, from 1887 to 1909 it was also thrown out of a 9-foot circle (2.73 m).

Likewise, the length of the wire on which the weight hangs has changed. It wasn't until the 20th century that the final length of 4 feet (1,219 m) was established. The hammer used by men today was introduced in 1912.

In Germany, the first hammer throw competition took place in Berlin in May 1893 with a 12 pound hammer. Until the beginning of the 20th century, hammer throw was hardly noticed in Germany; official German records were not registered until the mid-1920s. The first significant German hammer thrower was Max Furtwengler (* 1881), who threw with one arm and only half a turn. He increased the German best performance from 29.84 m in 1909 to 43.05 m in 1926.

Competition rules

Hammer thrower 1904

In the competition, the best eight hammer throwers have six attempts. The largest distance decides on victory and places, with the same distance the next best attempts decide.

After the throw, the circle may only be left after hitting the hammer and only to the rear and from a safe position, so that the throw is considered valid.

In contrast to the other throwing disciplines, the hammer thrower may wear gloves or wrap individual fingers with bandages.

A throw is only valid if the hammer hits a marked, acute-angled sector. As with the shot put and discus throw, this has an opening of 34.92 °. This “non-round” value results from a triangle that has two sides of 20 meters and 12 meters to easily mark the throwing sector.

To protect people in the stadium from misguided throws, the hammer throw circle is surrounded by a protective cage that is only open at the top and in the direction of the throwing sector. It has a height of seven meters, in some places ten meters. It is at least 3.50 meters away from the center of the throwing circle. The mesh of the protective cage can consist of ropes or metal wire and must withstand a hammer speed of 32 meters per second (115 km / h).

The rules for hammer throw competitions are set out in rules 187, 191 and the IAAF technical competition regulations.

Physics of hammer throw

  • Take-off speed: For a 75-meter throw, a take-off speed of around 27 to 28 meters per second (m / s) is necessary. If this speed is increased by five percent, around 1.4 m / s, this leads to a gain in distance of around seven meters with the same take-off angle. The take-off speed is therefore much more important than the take-off angle.
  • Take-off altitude: Your influence on the distance is very small. A higher take-off altitude leads to an equal gain in distance. For example, if the hammer is dropped from a height of 1.60 meters instead of 1.40 meters, that brings about 19 centimeters (based on a take-off speed of 24 m / s). A tall athlete has only minor advantages over a smaller one with the same application of force and the same technique.
  • Departure angle: The throwing hammer describes a ballistic curve ( trajectory parabola , oblique throw ), which has the best possible departure angle of 45 °. However, since the hammer is thrown from an elevated position ( law of crooked throw ), the actual best take-off angle is only around 44 °. A deviation of two degrees, around five percent, worsens the throwing distance by about sixty centimeters.
  • Wind : Air resistance plays a minor role in hammer throwing, so wind only has a minor influence on the distance. A wind speed of 5 m / s affects an 80-meter throw by about one percent. Tailwind leads to a gain in distance of about 90 centimeters, headwind reduces the distance of a throw by about 80 centimeters.
