Before 1950, shot put athletes would stand sideways in the throwing circle, rock back on one leg, swing the other to the front and use the momentum to throw the shot. When Olympic gold medallist William Patrick “Parry” O’Brien faced the back of the circle before putting the shot, the measurer and the judge were confused just as the audience were. But then, Parry glided a step backwards, turned 180 degrees, tossed the shot, and went on to break the world record in shot put history 17 times and to win 116 consecutive meets.
