Hammer throw is a track and field event in which an athlete throws a "hammer" in an attempt to mark a farther distance than their competitors. 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.

How to map

Since athletics=hammer_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 hammer 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.
