From skipping stones to catapults, a common event in many Sports is also the tossing of objects. The Olympic Games include the Shot Put, Discus, Javelin, Hammer Throw, and the object throwing in Basketball, Volleyball, Hockey, Golf, and Rugby.
A cartoon of a female athlete with curly hair and her fancy pink top with changing micro-patterns illustrates various ASL hand signs for THROW.
Closed S hand or Contracted 5 hand thrusts forward and opens, as if letting go of the object being thrown.

This ASL art was inspired by my friend Stasia Van Buskirk, who inspired me to learn this ASL hand sign in 2021 by asking how to sign Axe Throwing.
