Concordia's "Throw Center" attracts Olympic hopefuls
02:48 PM PDT on Tuesday, August 19, 2008
The Concordia University Throw Center is the first dedicated throw facility of its kind in the United States.
Located just down the road from the Concordia campus, the Throw Center is a world-class venue for youth and collegiate athletes, as well as Olympic hopefuls.
Located on 10 acres of land near the Portland International Airport, the unique layout includes a basketball court-sized rain shelter for all-weather use that enables all four implements (javelin, hammer, discus and shot put) to be thrown simultaneously in a safe environment.
Outside the shelter, each discipline has its own dedicated space with permanent cages, throwing circles or runways. The layout also allows temporary expansion for many event areas to increase the facility's overall flexibility.
