Change of world-record rankings of shot put and hammer throw due to the effects of Earth rotation and athlete's height.

The differences between the consecutive world-records of shot put and hammer throw tendentiously decrease. Therefore, nowadays it would be worth taking into account the influence of certain environmental factors on the range L, such as the latitude and release azimuth direction. Both factors exert influence on L by the centrifugal acceleration a and Coriolis acceleration a induced by the Earth's rotation.
