Discobolus

The discobolus icon represents a discus thrower, a figure from ancient Greek art and athletics. The discobolus is a famous sculpture depicting an athlete in the act of throwing a discus, showcasing strength, technique, and movement. The sport of discus throwing has been a part of the Olympic Games and track and field competitions for centuries.

In software and digital platforms, the discobolus icon may be used in applications related to sports, fitness, or education. For example, a fitness app might use this icon to represent a workout routine or a section on athletic training.

From a UX perspective, the discobolus icon communicates a sense of athleticism, strength, and competition. It may be used to draw attention to a specific feature or section of an interface, such as a button to track workouts or a section highlighting sports news.

Discobolus is one of 4,123 icons in Game Icons, made by GameIcons and released under CC BY 3.0. It is drawn on a 512 × 512 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds DiscobolusIcon to components/icons/game-icons-discobolus.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed DiscobolusIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Discobolus icon, or any of 4,123 Game Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 512 × 512 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Discobolus", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. DiscobolusIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <DiscobolusIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes, with credit: CC BY 3.0 asks you to credit the author (GameIcons) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 3.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by GameIcons, CC BY 3.0" on an about or credits page.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are sports, game, fitness, thematic and athletics. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Discobolus in another set.
