 Discus throwing was included in the first Athens Olympiad of [[1896]]. Greek athlete [[Panagiotis Paraskevopoulos]] won silver that year losing out to American Garrett.

 The current Greek records are held by [[Savvas Pavanoglou]] (63.18m) for the men's event ([[May 15]], [[2002]]) and [[Katerina Voggoli]] (67.72m) for the women's ([[June 10]], [[2004]]).

 Discus throwing is an ancient sport. In the [[5th century BC]] the sculptor [[Myron]] produced a statue of a discus thrower (''[[Discobolus]]''), which is world-famous today (although the technique obviously employed by that ancient thrower is no longer considered anywhere near optimal).
-To make a throw, the competitor starts in a slightly recessed concrete-surfaced circle of 2.5 metres (8 feet 2½ inches) diameter. They typically wind up while facing away from the direction of the throw. The thrower then spins around one and a half times through the circle to build momentum.  The discus must land within a 40-degree or 60-degree arc marked by lines on the landing zone, and the competitor must not exit the circle until the discus has landed, and must then only exit through the rear half of the circle. The distance from the front edge of the circle to where the discus has landed is measured, and distances are rounded down to the nearest centimeter or half-inch.  The competitor's best throw from the allocated number of throws, typically between three and eight, is recorded, and the competitor who legally throws the discus the furthest is declared the winner.  Ties are broken by determining which thrower has the longer second-best throw.

-The basic motion is a forehanded sidearm movement.  The discus is spun off the index finger of the throwing hand, spinning clockwise when viewed above for a right-handed thrower, and vice-versa.  As well as achieving maximum momentum in the discus on throwing, the discus's distance is also determined by the trajectory the thrower imparts, as well as the aerodynamic behaviour of the discus. Also, a faster-spinning discus imparts greater gyroscopic stability.  The technique of discus throwing is quite difficult to master and needs lots of experience to get right, thus most top throwers are thirty years old or older.
