What is the message of the Myron in the Discobolus?

=========================================
LOVE IS A STATEMENT – AN ART STATEMENT!
“This is a composite cast incorporating parts from two Roman marble copies of Myron’s lost 5th c. BCE bronze Discobolus (Diskobolos, discus thrower). The heavily-muscled, nude athlete stands poised to throw his discus, facing the viewer’s right. He twists his torso and head toward the viewer, placing his weight on his right leg and drawing the left leg back. His right hand is lifted up and back and in it he grasps a large discus, decorated with concentric rings. His wavy hair is cropped and his facial features are characteristic of the high Classical style, with thick-lidded, almond-shaped eyes, full lips, and a calm expression. The muscles and rib cage are well-articulated, as are the tendons of the athlete’s right hand, in which he holds the discus. ” (Source:https://digital.library.cornell.edu/catalog/ss:172629)
