I READ SOMEWHERE THAT MY AGE THROWS A 1K DISCUS? I DID NOT KNOW THEY EVEN MADE THEM THAT LIGHT. I NEVER THREW IN COMPETITION , I THREW THE JAVELIN BUT I DID PLAY AROUND WITH IT. SO WHAT THE HECK, MAY AS WELL TRY. SUGGESTIONS ON SOME THROWING SKILLS I SHOULD DO?

The 1kg discus has always been the implement thrown by girls and women. There's also a 0.75kg discus used by younger boys and now by women over age 75.

A good place to start for technique is The Throwers Manual, available through on-line book sellers and through M-F Athletic.
