    Not much use of the left leg turning out of the back of the circle. Katie is very upright and there is no push off the left leg to get across the circle. This is done by the right leg ’s wide and low sweep out the back of the circle. She relies heavily on her upper body to ‘whip’ the Discus out with fixed feet as evidenced by her collapsed left leg at the front of the circle as well as her shoulders overtaking her right hip during the release. This suggests that with increased strength development in her lower body it would give Katie the ability to move over and around her left leg out of the back and would therefore create more torque in the middle of the circle enabling her to generate more force to be transferred into the throw.
