An athlete gives the hammer or discus a circular motion by rotating his/her own body before releasing it.
Before releasing a hammer or discus in a sports meet, an athlete imparts uniform circular motion to it. This involves spinning the hammer or discus around a central point to build up rotational speed and momentum before releasing it tangentially.
