 FACT: At the beginning of the film when there is a montage that  depicts how athletic Hubbell Gardner is, there a shot showing a  birds eye view of him throwing the discus. He throws the discus out  of the throwing circle traveling from one side of the circle (9  oclock) and sees him release the discus at the other side (3  oclock). The correct position for releasing the discus is clearly  marked on the circle at the 12 oclock position.
