Olympus Podium Discus

Took a little getting used to but it flies really well. Easy to grip.

Great discus

I needed a new discus for my senior girl and Track Barn answered my questions and got my discus to me in 2 days so my senior girl could practice and compete with it ASAP.

I bought 2 Podium 1.6kg Discuses about two weeks ago. My athletes and I have been throwing them around. We like the rim texture. Sometimes the stainless discs rims can be too smooth and are hard to get a solid grip on. These have a great feel and grip on the rim. This model is 80% rim weight so some of my younger throwers struggled to get it spinning, so be mindful of that when buying. My more advanced throwers didn't seem to have any difficulty. I felt that the plates were too slick for my liking, maybe as it breaks in my opinion will change. Great price, hopefully they don't go up as they gain popularity.

I waited until the very last minute to pull the trigger on my order of 2 Olympus Podium disci and chased it with a phone call to see if there was a way to get it shipped faster. Carl asked when I needed it by and made note of it, then secured 2-day shipping. The implements arrived in 2 days and just 2 hours before my son's first meet of the season. I passed them off to my son just before the warm up throws and 30 minutes later he threw just over 140...that throw took 1st place for him and now my son will likely be forever partial to the Olympus Podiums! The color takes them even further in likeability, but the real evidence of their quality was in the overall feel (extremely smooth and tight and the black rim coating did improve traction) and balance and the fact that they could be put in a boy's hands and immediately thrown so well in a competition with only 2 warm up throws to acclimate. From the UPS truck to the top of the podium in an afternoon. An excellent product from a company with exceptional customer care! Thank you!
