Im coaching at a high school. None of our shotputs make weight. Is there any way to add a little bit of weight?
I tried opening what looked like a threaded insert/ plug to see if weight could be added there, but was unable to open that.
Can I weld on a little extra bit to fill in chopped spots?
These are cast iron shotputs.
Drill a hole in them with a 3/4 bit. Then pour HF in the hole and let stand for 24 hours. The next day pour the HF down the toilet and add some liquid mercury. Cover up the hole with super glue and you're good to go.

Yes, use dimethyl mercury while you are at it. And just plate the whole thing with it.
(Troll note: Do not do this. Do not touch radioactive substances or use them in any capacity for this job.)
Do they not make weight because of chips? Buy a new one.
wrap tin foil around them until they make weight
