Shotput

Put the ball as far as possible using an open-palm motion. Strength and form combined will send it the distance.

RULES

1
The shot must be put with one hand only — no two-handed throws
2
The throw must be made with an open palm — no gripping or throwing overhand
3
The participant must release the shot from behind the throw line
4
Distance of the throw is measured from the start line to where the shot first lands and rolls to a stop
5
No running start permitted — both feet must remain stationary before the throw

Each team enters exactly one participant per solo event, and no participant may compete in more than one solo event — so every team member takes part
Tie-breaker: if two or more participants record an identical result, they share the higher placement and its points, and the placement(s) directly below are skipped (e.g., two tied for 1st each earn 1st-place points and the next competitor places 3rd)
The assigned event judge's decision is final; all measurements and times are confirmed by two officials before being recorded
Results are recorded to a fixed precision — distances to the nearest centimeter and times to the nearest hundredth of a second
