Discus throw also known as disc throw, is a track and field event in which an athlete throws a heavy disc — called a discus — in an attempt to mark a farther distance than their competitors.
How to map
Since athletics=discus_throw is an additional and non-physical tag, it should be combined with sport=athletics and one other top-level tag; e.g.:
leisure=pitch- A discus throwing sector (safety cage together with a landing sector) for a full-scale competition.leisure=practice_pitch- A small place set up for practicing a given sport, but not appropriate for a full event.leisure=sports_centre- A sports centre is a distinct facility where multiple sports take place within an enclosed area (multiple rooms, pitches or combination).leisure=stadium- A major sports facility with substantial tiered seating.shop=sports- A shop selling sports equipment and clothing.club=sport- A club for the purpose of playing or supporting one or more sports.
Throwing sector
On satellite images, you can see the circle from which the throw is made (diameter 2.5 m). A net is required, which can be drawn separately. And a grass area for the throwing lane can be recognized.
Draw an area around the discus throwing sector (safety cage together with the landing area) and add
leisure=pitchsport=athleticsathletics=discus_throw- If the throwing sector is shared with the hammer throw useathletics=discus_throw;hammer_throw.surface=*- Describes the surface of the throwing sector.
