SECTION B – Short–answer questions

Instructions for Section B

Answer all questions in the spaces provided.

Question 1 (5 marks)

The following diagram shows part of the rotation action of a hammer throw field event in athletics. The

‘hammer’ in the men’s competition comprises of a 7.26 kg metal ball attached to a steel wire no longer than

1.22 m. In the hammer throw, athletes start and finish inside a 2.13 m diameter throwing circle.

Source: Shutterstock

When completing a hammer throw, athletes rotate inside the throwing circle from the back to the front of the

circle, swinging the hammer and, at the same time, rotate their body around before throwing the hammer as far

as they can. The thrower usually makes 3 or 4 spins before releasing the hammer. Athletes will commonly throw

4 to 6 times per competition.

a. Using the information above describing the hammer throw, outline two sport–specific

fundamental motor skills required for a successful performance.
