Yaime Perez, about to come out of the wind and push and rotate over her left foot. She has a higher orbit then the male athletes.

The sweep around the left leg by Perkovic as she pushes into the middle of the ring. The stretch continues with the discus still behind the right hip.

Another example of the right leg sweep to the middle by Allman. The discus still remains behind the right hip.

Alekna lands in the middle with weight over the pivot foot, on the ball of his foot.

The athlete, Ceh rotates around his pivot leg in the middle of the circle and keeps his weight back, the discus high and back still behind the right hip.

Perkovic pivots around the right side, and plants/blocks the left side and foot. She initiates the throw with the right knee driving into the left side, slinging the hip, shoulder and hand like a whip.

WIth the left side creating a block, the right side of Perez, whips around slinging the discus out. This is the first time the discus is not behind the hip, as now there is an active right arm.
