GRENADE THROW: As shown in
the pictures on page 16, the grenade
throw is a combination of a shot-put
and a catcher’s peg. Bring the right arm
up until the elbow is on line with the
shoulder. Keep the palm up, close to or
touching the shoulder. At the same time
extend the left arm, palm down and
pointing toward the target. The weight
is on the right foot, while the eyes sight
along the left arm. Throw the right
arm upwards, as in shot-putting, but
straighten it out and follow through as

you would in throwing a baseball.

HURDLING: In the pictures below,
the athlete is taking a low hurdle. The
idea is to hurdle the obstacle with as
little break in the stride as possible.
This the hurdler does very nicely. He
makes perfect use of his arms and legs.
As his left leg goes over the barrier, his
right arm is thrust forward. But as soon
as the lead leg is whipped down, as
shown in the last picture, the right arm
starts going back and the other arm
forward. This is the type of arm-work
used in ordinary walking — opposite
arm and leg always forward.

There are several points worthy of
attention: Note that the leg is not kept
stiff as it is thrust over the hurdle, but is
slightly flexed and that there is no ex-
aggerated body lean. The head is up
and the body angled forward as in
sprinting.
