Nice video, but the measurement is actually recorded at the edge of the circle with the measuring line pointing towards the center of the circle. This way there is no loss in distance like described. You would also actually gain distance this way.

Straight headwind is actually not the most optimal direction, ideally the wind should also come in a bit from the side of the athletes dominant hand. This way the normal 5-10 degree right tilt of the discus which some consider optimal allows the discus to anglematch the apparant wind as it climbs resulting in minimal loss of velocity. As the discus starts to fall the airflow over the tail end starts to detach thus losing lift at the tail end. Gyroscopic precession comes into play now that the center of lift has shifted forward and the discus starts tilting left (another reason why starting it with a right tilt is beneficial). The more the discus tilts left the harder the wind will move it sideways relative to the original direction of travel while slowing down its fall somewhat, in addition to this the tilt angle in a strong crosswind will also shift forward a bit since the discus will tilt on the axis of the apparant wind.
