...use their own hammer or are they provided by the venue like they do with towels and balls at Wimbledon?

If you have to take your own to events, does it count as sports equipment for the purposes if airline luggage allowances?

Do they know what a hammer looks like? It's a ball on a chain, how would you knock a nail in with that?

A skilled operator could probably install a nail from about 70m away based on this evening's performances

Tennis players use their own rackets.

True, but you don't use rackets in hammer throwing 😉

POSTED 2 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST

Punchline to a fine joke, there.

I was hoping the thread title was going to continue "accidentally shit themselves from time to time?"

Do hammer throwers...

... wish that they were able to look at their watches without first having to pause for a second?

Hammers belong to the venue. Pole vaulters bring their own.
