This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

[[File:Hammer throw.jpg|thumb|The traditional [[Highland games]] version of the event]]

The '''hammer throw''' is one of the four throwing events in regular outdoor [[track and field]] competitions, along with the [[discus throw]], [[shot put]] and [[Javelin throw|javelin]].

The "hammer" used in this sport is not like any of the tools also called by that name. It consists of a metal ball attached by a steel wire to a grip. These three components are each separate and can move independently. Both the size and weight of the ball vary between men's and women's events. The women's hammer weighs ((convert|4|kg|lb)) for college and professional meets while the men's hammer weighs ((convert|7.26|kg|lb)).<ref>[https://worldathletics.org/disciplines/throws/hammer-throw Hammer Throw Facts] World Atheletics</ref> 

==History==

[[File:John Flanagan.jpg|thumb|[[Irish Americans|Irish American]] [[John Flanagan (hammer thrower)|John Flanagan]] in the hammer throw competition at the Summer Olympics 1908 in London]]
The exact origins of the hammer throw are a mystery to modern historians.((Cn|date=September 2023)) According to legend, at the [[Tailteann Games (ancient)|Tailteann Games]] in [[Tara Hill, County Wexford|Tara]], Ireland, as far back as 2000 BC the Celtic warrior [[Cú Chulainn|Culchulainn]] took a chariot axle with a wheel still attached and spun it around and hurled it.<ref name=":3">((Cite web |title=Hammer Throw |url=https://worldathletics.org/disciplines/throws/hammer-throw |access-date=2023-09-28 |website=worldathletics.org |language=en))</ref> The wheel was later replaced by a rock with a wooden handle attached.<ref name=":3" /> A [[sledgehammer]] began to be used for the sport in Scotland and England during the Middle Ages.<ref name=":3" /> In current times, the hammer has changed to the more modern 7.26 kg ball attached to a wire and a handle, but the Scottish [[Highland games|Highland Games]] still feature the older style of hammer throw with the rock and the solid wood handle. Today the Hammer throw is one of four throwing events featured in the Olympics alongside discus, shot put, and javelin. 

[[File:Hammerthrow wire.jpg|thumb|The contemporary version of the hammer throw]]
While the men's hammer throw has been part of the Olympics since 1900, the [[International Association of Athletics Federations]] did not start ratifying women's marks until 1995. Women's hammer throw was first included in the Olympics at the [[2000 Summer Olympics|2000 summer games]] in [[Sydney]], Australia, after having been included in the [[World Athletics Championships|World Championships]] a year earlier.((Cn|date=September 2023))

==Competition==

The men's hammer weighs ((convert|16|lb|kg|2|lk=on)) and measures ((convert|3|ft|11+3/4|in|cm|1)) in length, and the women's hammer weighs ((convert|4|kg|lb|2|abbr=on)) and ((convert|3|ft|11|in|cm|1|abbr=on)) in length.<ref>((cite web|title=Hammer Throw|url=https://www.worldathletics.org/disciplines/throws/hammer-throw|publisher=[[World Athletics]]|access-date=May 12, 2022|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211119180903/https://www.worldathletics.org/disciplines/throws/hammer-throw|archive-date=November 19, 2021))</ref> Like the other throwing events, the competition is decided by who can throw the implement the farthest.

The throwing motion starts with the thrower swinging the hammer back-and-forth about two times to generate momentum. The thrower then makes three, four or (rarely) five full rotations using a complex heel-toe foot movement, spinning the hammer in a circular path and increasing its [[angular velocity]] with each rotation. Rather than spinning the hammer horizontally, it is instead spun in a plane that angles up towards the direction in which it will be launched. The thrower releases the hammer as its velocity is upward and toward the target.<ref>((cite news |last1=Johannsen |first1=Dana |title=Tokyo 2020: Why the Olympic hammer throw may become a new national obsession |url= https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/olympics/125889648/tokyo-2020-why-the-olympic-hammer-throw-may-become-a-new-national-obsession |access-date=1 August 2021 |work=[[Stuff (website)|Stuff]] |date=1 August 2021))</ref>

Throws are made from a ''throwing circle''. The thrower is not allowed to step outside the throwing circle before the hammer has landed and may only enter and exit from the rear of the throwing circle. The hammer must land within a 34.92º ''throwing [[circular sector|sector]]'' that is centered on the throwing circle. The sector angle was chosen because it provides a sector whose bounds are easy to measure and lay out on a field (10 metres out from the center of the ring, 6 metres across).<ref>((cite web |title=Hammer Throw |url=https://www.worldathletics.org/disciplines/throws/hammer-throw |website=World Athletics ))</ref><ref>((cite web |url=http://www.pntf.org/officials/ivars/Throwing_Event_Sector_Angles_Rev_F1.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150513053210/http://www.pntf.org/officials/ivars/Throwing_Event_Sector_Angles_Rev_F1.pdf |archive-date=2015-05-13 |url-status=live |title=Laying Out Sector Angles for the Track and Field Throwing Events |author=<!--Not stated--> |access-date=2022-03-19 |website=USA Track & Field Pacific Northwest |quote=The shot, discus, hammer & weight throw sector is 34.92º. This angle was chosen due to its simple geometry.))</ref> A violation of the rules results in a foul and the throw not being counted.((citation needed|date = September 2022))

((Asof|2023)) the men's hammer world record is held by [[Yuriy Sedykh]], who threw ((T&Fcalc|86.74)) at the [[1986 European Athletics Championships]] in [[Stuttgart]], [[West Germany]] on 30 August.  The world record for the women's hammer is held by [[Anita Włodarczyk]], who threw ((T&Fcalc|82.98)) during the [[Kamila Skolimowska Memorial]] on 28 August 2016.((citation needed|date = September 2022)) Sedykh's 1986 world record has been noted for its longevity, and for dating from "a time when track and field was starting to realize the scale of performance-enhancing drug use" (AP).<ref name=":1">((Cite web |date=2021-09-14 |title=Yuriy Sedykh, hammer world record holder, dies at 66 |url=https://apnews.com/article/track-and-field-sports-europe-russia-moscow-62f7dd55278ba992439adf63ddfb0af1 |access-date=2023-06-28 |website=AP News |language=en))</ref> According to Russian doping whistleblower [[Grigory Rodchenkov]], Sedykh was a heavy user of [[Steroid|steroids]], which Sedykh denied.<ref name=":1" />

The throwing distance depends on the velocity and height at which the hammer is released, but also on other factors that are not under the athlete's control.<ref name=":2">((Cite journal |last1=Horváth |first1=Gábor |last2=Hegedűs |first2=Dénes |last3=Slíz-Balogh |first3=Judit |date=2023-06-27 |title=Change of world-record rankings of shot put and hammer throw due to the effects of Earth rotation and athlete's height |journal=Scientific Reports |language=en |volume=13 |issue=1 |pages=10409 |doi=10.1038/s41598-023-36665-5 |pmid=37369722 |pmc=10300113 |bibcode=2023NatSR..1310409H |s2cid=259273858 |issn=2045-2322))</ref> In particular, Earth's rotation affects it via the location's [[latitude]] (due to the [[centrifugal force]], the hammer will fly a bit further in a location closer to the equator) and to a lesser extent also via the throw's [[azimuth]] (i.e. its compass direction, due to [[Coriolis force|Coriolis forces]]).<ref name=":2" />  According to a 2023 study, such effects are large enough that the top 20 world-record rankings for both men and women at the time could somewhat change if they were adjusted for latitude and azimuth.<ref name=":2" />

== Safety issues ==
Hammer throwing has been described as involving "inherent danger [...]. Athletes, coaches, and spectators participating in the event are at risk; steel hammers [...] are hurled through the air at great speeds, [travel] far distances, and [are] sometimes difficult to spot in flight."<ref name=":0">((Cite web |last=Academy |first=U. S. Sports |date=2010-07-09 |title=An Analysis of Hammer Throw Facility Safety Factors in NCAA Division I |url=https://thesportjournal.org/article/an-analysis-of-hammer-throw-facility-safety-factors-in-ncaa-division-i/ |access-date=2023-06-26 |website=The Sport Journal |language=en-US))</ref> For example, hammer throws resulted in four deaths in Europe in 2000 alone,<ref>((Cite web |date=2008-12-29 |title=Catastrophic Injuries Pull Focus On Field Event Safety |url=https://www.athleticbusiness.com/facilities/outdoor-fields/article/15141454/catastrophic-injuries-pull-focus-on-field-event-safety |access-date=2023-06-26 |website=Athletic Business |language=en-us))</ref> and have caused deaths and permanent brain damage injuries in the United States too.<ref name=":0" />

To mitigate such risks, a C-shaped "hammer cage" was introduced, which is built around the throwing circle, preventing the hammer from flying off in unwanted directions.<ref name=":0" /> In 2004, the [[World Athletics|IAAF]] changed its rules to increase the mandatory height of hammer cages to 10m and reduce their "danger zone" angle to around 53°.<ref name=":0" /> The change also moved the cage gates further away from the throwing circle, thus reducing the risk of a misdirected hammer bouncing back on the thrower.<ref>((Cite journal |last1=Laruel |first1=Benoit |last2=Wilson |first2=Denis |last3=Young |first3=Ray |date=2004 |title=Hammer throw safety cages |url=https://worldathletics.org/download/downloadnsa?filename=3bb61ca9-c2a4-49b5-bf3d-b56d1422d1f0.pdf&urlslug=hammer-throw-safety-cages |journal=New Studies in Athletics |volume=19 |issue=1 |pages=47–51))</ref>
