As I was walking in the park yesterday I came upon two women athletes who were performing the shot put. I recognized it from watching the Olympics. They were twirling just like on TV and landing the ball among a series of cones placed on the grass to measure the distance.
I asked if I could hold the metal ball. It was really heavy! I could never imaging throwing it. And if I dropped it on my foot?
When I got home I looked up the weight: 8 lb for women, 16 lb for men. I wonder if that will stay the same now that transgender athletes are allowed to play.
