shot put

Field event in which a metal ball is heaved for distance. It derives from the ancient event of “putting the stone”; later a shot (cannonball) was substituted. A 16-lb (7.3-kg) shot was adopted for men in the first modern Olympic Games (1896); an 8.8-lb (4-kg) weight is used by women.

shot put

1. an athletic event in which contestants hurl or put a heavy metal ball or shot as far as possible

2. a single put of the shot
