Athletics at the 1972 Summer Olympics – Men's shot put
The men's shot put field event at the 1972 Olympic Games took place on September 8 & 9. The East German throwers were expected to pose a big challenge in these games, as well as the throwers from Poland. Brian Oldfield from the United States was the first person to use a new technique, a technique that is similar to the discus throwing style. The thrower uses a rotational spin before releasing the shot put.[1][2]
