The discus throw at the Summer Olympics is one of four track and field throwing events held at the multi-sport event in which an athlete throws a heavy disc—called a discus—in an attempt to mark a farther distance than their competitors.. The men's discus throw has been present on the Olympic athletics programme since 1896 (one of two throws events at the first Olympics, alongside the shot put). The women's event was first contested at the 1928 Olympics, being one of the five athletics events in the inaugural Olympic women's programme.

Wrestling is a martial art and combat sport that involves grappling with an opponent and striving to obtain a position of advantage through different throws or techniques, within a given ruleset. Wrestling involves different grappling-type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins, and other grappling holds. Many different wrestling techniques have been incorporated into martial arts, combat sports, and military systems. Wrestling is genuine competition; professional wrestling is athletic theatre.

Athena, or Athene, often called Pallas, is an ancient Greek goddess associated with wisdom, warfare, and handicraft, later syncretized with the Roman goddess Minerva. As the patron and protectress of cities, particularly Athens, she is honored by the Parthenon on the Acropolis. Her symbols include owls, olive trees, snakes, and the Gorgoneion. Depicted wearing a helmet and holding a spear, Athena originated as an Aegean palace goddess and was closely tied to urban life. Celebrated in the Panathenaia festival, she was also known for her virginity (Athena Parthenos), her role in aiding heroes, and her active involvement in mythological tales like the Iliad and Odyssey. Since the Renaissance, she has symbolized wisdom, arts, freedom, and democracy.
