From today’s Times in a story about the first Olympics held on this day in 1896:
“Robert Garrett, an American, had never seen a discus. To practice, he had a blacksmith forge — based on classical accounts — “a 12-inch discus that weighed 30 pounds and was impossible to throw any distance.”
When he arrived in Athens, he learned that a discus was only about eight inches across and weighed less than five pounds. After nearly injuring spectators on his first throws, he won the gold.”

“After nearly injuring spectators on his first throws, he won the gold.”
And thus rallying was born.
