Why is hammer throw insurance essential?

The hammer throw is built on three or four fast turns in the circle before releasing a heavy ball on a wire. The centrifugal force and the rotation under load place heavy strain on the lower back, shoulders and knees, and a badly controlled turn or a slip in the circle causes lumbago, tendinitis, knee twists and impact trauma. Even in training, the repeated heavy throws take their toll. A federation licence and standard contracts cover these accidents poorly, and the costs of care and rehabilitation add up.

A dedicated personal accident insurance takes over: medical costs, care, rehabilitation and disability are covered according to your guarantees, in training and in World Athletics competition. You can progress with a free mind.
