Can You Do it Too?

Here are some pictures of people throwing things in Olympic events.
The first one shows a man throwing a hammer and the second shows a man throwing a discus.

They can throw them a long way. A recent Olympic record for throwing the hammer was about $80$ adult paces and for throwing the discus was about $70$ adult paces.
