London: Google has doodled its eighth London Olympics doodle, first ever on shot put.
Both men and women are participating in the event that will be held at the Olympic Stadium.
The dates for the men’s and women’s events are August 3 and 6 respectively.
The term shot put has come from “putting” (throwing in a pushing motion) a heavy metal ball—the shot—as far as possible.
The London 2012 shot put shows a shot putter ready for his throw. The Google logo appears in the horizon with two men standing in front of ‘l’ of the Google logo.
The world record in men’s shot put is 23.12 metres and 22.63 metres in women’s shot put.
In Olympics, records are at 22.47 for men and 22.41 for women..
