Discóbolo del Estadio Nacional, Bronze sculpture at National Stadium entrance in Ñuñoa, Chile.

The bronze replica of the Discobolus stands upright at the main entrance of the National Stadium on Grecia Avenue in Santiago de Chile.

The Greek community in Chile donated this bronze sculpture in 1958, leading to the naming of Grecia Avenue during the 1962 FIFA World Cup.

The sculpture differs from the classical Greek design as it depicts an athlete standing straight instead of the traditional disk-throwing position.

The statue serves as a meeting point for visitors accessing the National Stadium through the main entrance on Grecia Avenue.

In 2010, specialists removed multiple layers of white paint that had accumulated on the bronze surface over several decades.
