Scott Martin (thrower)

Scott Martin (born 12 October 1982 in Wodonga, Victoria) is an Australian shot putter and discus throw competitor. He rose to prominence in a National Australia Bank advertisement promoting the 2006 Commonwealth Games; in the ad, Martin was shown taking part in a ballet class to improve his discus technique. He won a bronze medal in the men's shot put at the Games, and won gold in the men's discus throw.

Martin is a three-time discus champion (2004–06). He is currently managed by the Australian arm of Athletes1, whose Director is Rick Olarenshaw.

In 2008, Martin was temporarily the Australia and Oceania shot put record holder following his performance at the Melbourne Telstra A Series. He competed at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in the shot put and 2012 London Olympics at the discus but failed to progress beyond the qualifying stage on both occasions.
