Who received the gold and silver medals? Record their name and the number of blocks. Event 8 - Shotput 1. Mark a starting line, then hold your athlete carefully. 2. Throw your athlete as far as you can. (Don't do this part inside!) 3. Measure the distance using either a tape measure, trundle wheel or feet. 4. Who received the gold and silver medals? Record their name and the distance. 5. Interview one of your athletes about either sport.
