The weight throw at the Summer Olympics was contested at the multi-sport event in 1904 and 1920.
 Part of the Olympic athletics programme, it was the fourth track and field throwing event to be contested at the Olympics, after the shot put, discus throw and hammer throw.
 The latter three events, along with the javelin throw (introduced in 1908), are now the only four throwing events on the Olympic programme.
 Only men competed in the two years that the event was held.
A snowball is a spherical object made from snow, usually created by scooping snow with the hands, and compacting it into a roughly fist-sized ball.
 The snowball is often used to engage in games, such as snowball fights. Snowball fights are usually light-hearted and involve throwing snowballs at one's friends or family.
 The pressure exerted by the hands on the snow is a determinant for the final result.
 Reduced pressure leads to a light and soft snowball.
 Compacting humid or "packing" snow, by applying a high pressure produces a harder snowball or "iceball", which eventually can be considered harmful during a snowball fight.
The European Throwing Cup (until 2016 European Cup Winter Throwing) is an annual continental athletics competition for athletes specialising in the events of discus, javelin and hammer throwing and the shot put.
 The winter event, organised every March by the European Athletics Association, is intended as a counterbalance to the fact that indoor track and field meetings cannot host the longer throwing events.
 It allows athletes who specialise in throwing events to gauge their form for the forthcoming outdoor athletics season.
A throw, in martial arts, is a grappling technique that involves off-balancing or lifting an opponent, and throwing them to the ground, in Japanese martial arts referred to as "nage-waza", 投げ技, "throwing technique".
 Throws usually involve a rotating motion, the practitioner performing the throw disconnects with the opponent, and ends balanced and on their feet as opposed to a takedown where both finish on the ground.
 Throws can however also be followed into a top position, in which case the person executing the throw does not disengage from the opponent.
 Certain throwing techniques called sacrifice throws ("sutemi-waza", 捨身技, "sacrifice technique") involve putting oneself in a potentially disadvantageous position, such as on the ground, in order to execute a throw.
The javelin throw is a track and field event where the javelin, a spear about 2.5 m in length, is thrown.
 The javelin thrower gains momentum by running within a predetermined area.
 Javelin throwing is an event of both the men's decathlon and the women's heptathlon.
Sebastiano Bianchetti (born 20 January 1996) is an Italian male Shot puter.
The club throw is an athletic throwing event where the object is to throw a wooden club.
 The event is one of the four throwing events, along with discus, javelin and shot put of the Summer Paralympics.
 It is the Paralympic equivalent of the hammer throw.
 The club throw was introduced for both men and women at the first 1960 Summer Paralympic Games.
 It was dropped from the women's programme from the 1992 Paralympics in Barcelona but was reinstated for London 2012.
The 1960 British West Indies Championships was the fourth edition of the track and field competition between British colony nations in the Caribbean.
 It was held in Kingston, Jamaica.
 A total of 31 events were contested, twenty-two by men and nine by women.
 The women's programme was extended with three throwing events.
 A new men's event was also included: the athletics pentathlon was the first and only time that a combined track and field event was contested at the completion.
The softball throw is a track and field event used as a substitute for more technical throwing events in competitions involving Youth, Paralympic, Special Olympics and Senior competitors.
The shot put (pronounced ) is a track and field event involving "throwing"/"putting" (throwing in a pushing motion) a heavy spherical object—the "shot"—as far as possible.
 The shot put competition for men has been a part of the modern Olympics since their revival in 1896, and women's competition began in 1948.
