Warm Up

Hammer Throwers will have warm-up throws before commencing competition. Officials will determine the number of warm-up throws. Please take caution of fellow athletes and implements.

Expected numbers for Hammer Throw will be 11 competitors (9 Female, 2 Male). With a large number of Female Hammer Throws, only the top 8 Females after 3 rounds of competition will receive a further 3 throws. Both Males will receive 6 throws.
