Constable Greg Gibbs gives his best in the shot put in Christchurch.
Professional pitchers make it look easy, but did you know a shot put weighs up to 7.2 kilograms?
Now Kiwis can make their own shot put in pop-up shot put circles across the country.
The New Zealand Olympic Committee established the circles to promote the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
The pop-up shot put circles demonstrate how to do it before the public can get started. The best photo in each city will win a prize with four categories for both adults and children.
