Why do discus throwers lift the discus above their heads before throwing it?
The untouchable incredibly disciplined discus athlete lifts the discus above their head to adjust the angle and force of the throw, ensuring accuracy and maximizing power output. This movement requires athletes to maintain extremely high stability and control in a brief moment, helping them concentrate their strength and perform at their best in the subsequent throw.

This preparatory action fully reflects the high discipline of discus throwers, who need to undergo precise preparation and training before each throw to ensure that every detail is done to the extreme.
