Which of the following athletic or sports events is performed without using any stick or pole?

Explanation

Shot Put. In Shot Put, athletes throw a heavy metal ball without any aid, while Javelin Throw (1908 Olympics debut) requires a spear, Field Hockey uses a curved stick, and Pole Vault uses a flexible pole to clear height. Shot Put has been part of the modern Olympics since 1896 (Athens), emphasizing pure physical strength and technique over equipment.
