Nelco Olympia Discus

This discus is designed specifically for intermediate to advanced athletes. While a beginner could technically use it, the 80% rim weight distribution is engineered for those who have already mastered basic throwing mechanics and are looking to refine their technique for greater distance.

A higher rim weight percentage creates greater rotational momentum during flight. This helps the discus maintain stability in the air and resist wobbling, which is essential for achieving longer, more consistent throws.

The ABS plastic side plates are high-impact resistant, meaning they are built to handle the repeated stress of landing on various track surfaces. They are designed to withstand rigorous, daily training sessions without cracking or warping.

Galvanized steel is treated to be highly resistant to corrosion and rust. While you should still wipe it down after use and store it in a dry place, it is significantly more durable against the elements than standard steel rims.

A rubber discus is typically intended for beginners or indoor training, whereas the Olympia Super Spin is a competition-style implement. The steel rim and ABS construction provide the authentic weight distribution and flight characteristics required to prepare for actual track meets.
