Answer 1

The specific work that captures the moment right before a discus is released is the "Discobolos," also known as the "Disc Thrower." This famous sculpture, originally created by the Greek sculptor Myron around 450 BC, depicts an athlete in the midst of the motion of throwing a discus. The pose captures the tension and focus of the athlete at the instant just prior to the release, showcasing the beauty of the human form in action. Various Roman copies of the original bronze have been found, and they also represent this dynamic moment in a striking way.
