Discus throw

have been the cause of the limbs falling off. Fortunately, these body parts were restored by artists such as Bernini and the sculpture became extremely coveted. In Myron’s statue, Diskobolos (Discus Thrower), a marble man is seen with his left arm raised as if he is about to swing his arm back down and throw the discus in his hand. Since the artwork is a little over five feet tall, it has an intimate scale that capture the viewer’s attention because it is around the height of an actual human. Myron captured the climax of the man’s motion of throwing the discus, which increases the intensity of the sculpture’s context. The preciseness of the dramatic movement in the sculpture helps create anxiety in the audience as they feel as if they are waiting to see how far the discus is thrown. The audience feels may feel as if they are holding their breaths as they await the man’s next move. The anticipation that surrounds the results of the throw gives the sculpture an electrifying tone that amplifies the climatic nature of the work. Nonetheless, the sculpture has a twisted perspective that accentuates the man’s arm with the discus in it. The man’s other arm is stretched out down in front of his knee to give the artwork an angular shape. This silhouette incontestably makes the arm with the discus the focal point of the sculpture and gives the sculpture a dramatic contrast. In order to amplify the man’s perceived athleticism, Myron gives him numerous characteristics that are…

There was also a movement away from the rigidness and emotionlessness of past artwork. This is because of the change in how man views himself, which you can see by looking at how the posture of their sculptures changed. The two best examples of these ideas and how the Greek artwork changed over time are Lacoon and his Sons and Discobolus. Discobolus is a sculpture of a nude discus thrower right at the end of the windup to throw the disc. If you look at the discus throwers face you see that it is…

My team did not like the throwing because we lied more on speed and technique rather than strength. we only practiced one throw which we called the head and arm. It is called the head and arm because that is the part of the opponent you must have to throw them. There are other throws I have seen, but none that i know what they are called or what other teams call it because I never practiced it. Ground game referred to wrestling on the mat or not standing. The main goal in wrestling is to pin the…

I took a shot. The ball made beautiful arch and went into the basket. I yelled “Yeah! I made it.” Shugo and Takumi came to me, and we high-fived. It was just an ordinary shot, however I was so happy that I made the shot. This was the moment that I determined to play basketball. I immediately joined the basketball team in my school. In the team, I was the worst player, and I knew that. I did not think that the player who can barely shoot from free-throw line can play well. Therefore, I kept…

still trying to improve. On the other hand, some sports require you to have prior knowledge on how to do something the correct way. For example, in baseball you can hit baseballs all day long but you might not hit perfectly after 10000 hours of practice. Another thing is, in baseball if you practice bad habits over and over again it’s harder for you to get out of those bad habits. This just doesn't happen with baseball, it can occur in every sport. For example, in basketball if you don’t know…

Shooting guards can also bring the ball up court, just as a point guard because they have descent dribbling skills. Shooting guards are known for long range jump shots and three-pointers. A shooting guard generally averages around a 40% from three-point range. In addition, most two guards are strong, athletic, and have the ability to get inside the paint and drive to the basket. Shooting guards are also good free throw shooters. Opponents want to minimize fouling these guards and sending them to…

quarte, and every possession from here on out mattered. We were down by two points at this point and I had just been fouled and was going to the free throw line for two shots. I was poised and control and I remember repeating to myself “Just two simple free throws, nothing different.” I stepped up to the line, and preformed my freethrow routine- two dribbles a deep breath and shot. The first shot was a miss, but I didn’t et that discourage me. The referee then threw the ball back, I preformed…

“Free throws win games,” a phrase that athletes repeatedly hear from their basketball coaches. Even though free throws only count for a point, they tend to occur at the most critical parts of the game. Imagine, only a few seconds remain, and your team is losing by one point. Two simple free throws dictate which way the game swings. If you miss them both, your team loses. Make only one, and the game goes into overtime. Make them both, and you become the hero for your team. Thus, free throws win…

Pool Pockets Problem Statement: In this POW you have to find the rebounds on a rectangular pool table (4 holes) with whole number distances.Every shot is shot at a 45 degree angle and always shot from the lower left corner and what pocket it lands in. Process: I started out by drawing many rectangles with each many different dimensions ( 2*3, 2*1, 4*10, 2*9, etc.) Then i did the actual problem /experiment and counted the rebounds on each rectangle, and each will be shot from the bottom left…

Improve Your Basketball Technique Using Some New Trick Shots Basketball may look like a bunch of people running around chasing a ball and dribbling it back into range where they can throw it up into the air and hope it falls through the hoop. In many cases, this is basically the idea of the game. You have to try and make a good score by putting that ball through the hoop. However, to be really good at the game, you have to have a few tricks up your sleeve. There are special dribbling moves that…
