"What are the key actions and positions of the left and right legs, as well as the arms, during step 5 of the 5-step rhythm, and how does this impact the power position and final delivery?"
STEP 5 The left leg is brought forward to bring the body in the power position. The right leg drives forward and upwards while waiting for the left foot to come down. Do not force the left foot down, otherwise the centre of gravity will move to behind the right leg, losing the forward driving action. The braced left leg lands flatfooted, pointing forward (1), to avoid the knee from collapsing and absorb the momentum of the approach run. The braced left leg is kept straight and acts like a wooden leg. The touchdown of the left leg takes place very soon after the right foot. With both legs on the ground, the driving through the hips is accelerated, causing the upper trunk to form a backward arc to create torque prior to delivery. Keep the throwing arm still extended at shoulder height (2). The free arm remains relaxed ahead of the body.
