How far from the cheek can the shot put when throwing the shot put?

When throwing the shot put, the athlete typically releases the shot from near the shoulder or cheek area, with the shot being positioned against the neck or cheek during the glide or spin technique. The shot put must be thrown from within a 7-foot diameter circle, and the throw should propel the shot forward and upward. The distance from the cheek to where the shot lands varies depending on the athlete's strength, technique, and conditions, but the shot is aimed to travel as far as possible within the allowed throwing area.
