FORWARD MOMENTUM
SIDE MOMENTUM
ROTATIONAL MOMENTUM
STEP CHANGE
STEP SLIDE

Same sequence of steps, but starting from the side

Start facing the direction of the throw Swing to the rhythm of “tam-ta-tam”—that is, left-right-left or the reverse The right foot (for right-handed throwers) crosses in front of the left foot (no cross-step) The left foot provides support in front of the line Throw high and far!

Backward stance (facing away from the direction of the throw) Weight on the bent right leg Right-to-left swing Turn around Hip extension Throw

Backward Start Through a dynamic extension of the left leg and a powerful push off with the right leg The right foot slides forward, turning slightly toward the direction of the throw Turn Hip extension Throw

Generate momentum from the upper body in the direction opposite to the rotation The left foot turns toward the throwing path Continue the rotation with a powerful swing of the right leg, then quickly plant the left foot toward the stop block Extend the hips and throw
