I'm into ceramics so I'd have to say "throwing a pot".

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

I believe that is still a trial Olympic event. The debate still rages regarding the electric-powered wheel versus the traditional treadmill.

But I'm curious, Peepsie - in what way are you "into ceramics"?

My late father was a highly respected potter. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/psutherland/briansutherland/index.htm

Ah, yes - this I knew already. I've visited the site before and there's some exceptionally fine work on display. I really like his paintings also. Particularly fascinating is the one of you in 1955. I wish I could say you haven't changed a bit, but it's a lovely painting.

Some delightful and very creative fancy dress costumes also...

I look younger there! Those Fancy Dress outfits were amazing looking back. Dad would spend weeks creating outfits using papier mache etc. I was too young to appreciate it. Many years later, not long before he died, he was in a bookshop flicking through a book on the history of Broadstairs, and there was a photo of us (my twin and I), in one of the costumes. He bought me a copy.

This would have to be the marathon.

Many a time in my youth I would take part in a cross country run. I would say I was rather good at it. In my first year a senior school the whole school would take part and I came thirtieth. On taking off my pymsole off blood poured out. I had run nearly the whole race with a serious cut foot. I was carried back to school and the following day the headmaster used me as an example as how we soldier on under adversity.

This you will say is not a throwing event. I disagree. Many a time I have seen marathon runners throwing up at the side of the road.

I was the most talented in my school for "Avoiding the Marathon" and "Running So Slowly as to be Indistinguishable from Walking".

Hurling the plimsoll/plimsol/plimsole (there are three different spellings, and you still got it wrong  ) would be interesting. A bit like welly-wanging I imagine.

Using the Urdu spelling of the word.

I'm intrigued. Would you mean 'Urdu' or Undo'?
