Idk why the the javelin angling itself towards the ground and landing is satisfying to watch
Thats because your brain is designed to anticipate food and survival everytime a javelin lands.
The javelin angles towards the ground because the center of mass of the javelin is located in front of the center of pressure thus creating a downward moment, or tipping a javelin towards the ground.
1:08 nice
I miss javelin, I was provincial champion in high school. Javelin in its essence is about finesse and technique. It's a pure sport. And we've been throwing spears since the dawn of time. Glad it's still apart of the Olympics 😊
Swimming came first since we're originally fish
Awesomee🔥
Completely agree. It was very cool when you pulled that out of your car at meets too 😀. That old javelin was really interesting how technique was more important than strength. It really punished you for pulling low or high, but would surprise you sometimes with a long throw on a medium effort. One day practicing in our back yard doing some light warm-up throws, I accidentally pierced the side of our above-the-ground swimming pool. Dad was thrilled with that.
Javelin Catching will be a new sport in the next Olympics.
Never because it is dangerous
@@sukhmanjitsingh1842 The best part about your comment is that you actually believed what I said about Javelin Catching. You just made my day. Thank you!
Uske liye Bahubali ko bulayo
@@vincentvincent4898 spare him, he barely knows English.
Yeah, and the name of the contestants are 'Animals'.
There should be a competition where you should hit a specific target and not just by distance
That's practically impossible
in the beginnings, the target javelin was also a discipline, but it was dropped
@@wearelive9329isn’t that the point
javelin to me is one of the most interesting or amazing event to watch
Why?
And to play
Me too we share same brain cells
Here after Neeraj Chopra's gold🏅❤️
This is phenomenal! I can't wait to see future installments!
After Neeraj Chopra won gold medal at Tokyo 2020....🇮🇳❤
Stop doing what pakistan does after winning one trophy. ( Remember the 2017 champions trophy ? )
Thanks for teaching me something new today! Always a treat.
it looks like a flying toothpick on air
until you get impaled through your entire body
Love this sport, took me sometime to master but loved every throw I have ever thrown 💯
Great commentary Tom ... this is exactly how it is ....
Great video. Very informative and interesting.
Nice job Tom.
Jai ho Neeraj Chopra!
Please keep doing this!
Hoping Indian Neeraj Chopra to make history by winning a medal for India in Javelin throw
Finger crossed
Done 🇮🇳
Please leave sector D of stadium, Jan Železný is throwing
You need good reflexes, the ability to track, patience, being able to shoot at the right time without disturbing the gun...and many more. I've never even shot and track & field is my favourite sport, but I can see the skills involved with that sport as well.
This guy seems to be very competent and articulate.
Not only the javelin itself has changed. The "hair" style as well : 0:35
Nice video !
Brilliant video
The music is Terry Devine King's - Timelock
That it i'm buying a javelin. I'm done with throwing broom stick
Alexandre Beaudry how did the broom stick go tho
do more of these!
Great video
I think, two of the weapons of the ancient greece were carried to the present with one with a slight improvement in material- the Javelin; and the other has been greatly improve in materials, configuration and other necessary accessories to greatly improved its performance- the Bow and arrow for Archery.
What about the Disc?
Love this video so mutch thanks from italy
Thanks
its can be more intresting if it hits some polititions
And it again reminded me of my countryman undefeated Jan Zelezny and his protege Barbora Spotakova
Amazing
Zelezny took silver in the 1988 Olympics. Not undefeated!!.
Javelin throw is kinda of very beautiful to watch , it might be triggering the hunter instinct in me.
I respect these sports so much more now.
I think one of the reason why they modified javalin in 86 was because safety concerns as they were throwing it close to 100m. But today javalins are throwing javalins 90-95m.
So maybe time to modified it again f.e increase javalin weight?
How cool that you guys consider us ,reply us be kind with the fans . thanks a lot :)
Very interesting.
I miss javelin throw so much...
were you injured? i'm 84 and still participating, even with a torn rotater cuff injury. still love to throw. great event.
jerry lyons
I loved throwing in high school. I was a champion. And for my size a lot of ppl including teachers were surprised. I always had a great arm. Throwing footballs and baseballs going up. I had a technique that was just unmatched. I took a lot of my football throwing experience and infused it into this sport. I loved it. I would throw 4-5 meters ahead of bigger guys than myself. This was 12 years ago now. Doesn't seem so long ago. I'd like to get back into it honestly. It was a great time in my life looking back now
Then start again! :) Also great throwing "arms" are a misconception. The only thing great about the arm can be an agile, strong elbow. Your throw is 95% the rest of your body, not of lot of arm involved.
When you turn 35 you are eligible to compete in Masters Track, in 5 year age groups. Look online and you can find all the info you need. I've been throwing for 14 years, since I was 60. It's great and you meet a lot of fun people.
How do I land the thing
physics....
Marco anatomy....
BIG L E A T H E R *DADDY*
well yebut "physics" is a 100% accurate label for every video on youtube, as well as every object or event in the universe
Achilles was best in that Hector also told that in Trozen war
interesting but it would have been good to look at the World Record progression
a quick technical question here
what is the best throwing angle ?
I'm asking to compare the result with artillery ... their best angle for distance is around 38 (think between 30 & 45) ... so I want to know if there is other factors that a human can put into such sport to get more distance ... like spin it around it axis (as refiling the barrels do) ... feathers or fins are illegal I guess
Ive always been taught it as 35 degrees
Next level new meta strats
I 've missed it so much ....
If you wonder how hard these people trow.. Trine Hattestad pictured around 3min mark used to play handball.. she realized she had a above normal trowing arm when she broke one goalkeepers arm..
Anyone here after Neeraj Chopra winning gold for India in javelin throw ?
Well it has to do with accuracy, precision , and reflexes.
me for no reason: searches javelin accidents
Javelin is one of the most difficult Olympic games. I think, to be a javelin player, you should have strength and flexibility.
Loool the most difficult
Neeraj the new king of Javlin
I hope he can replicate that performance again and bring another gold Olympic medal in four years
AMC Javelin is pretty good too.
HEY OLYPIC PEOPLE! Can you guys also do some video's involving shooting(pistols, air pistol, rifle, air rifle and shotgun PLEASE!
I used to javelin
On Xbox connect sports
Hi olympics
Miguel de la Quadra-Salcedo 112,30m (1956)
I liked this video a lot, but now my elbows hurt so bad watching those people throw like that
I watched javelin cause of L Franco from Paraguay 🇵🇾.
The Olympic Games are clearly an analogue of war... not hunting.
Who comes here after neeraj chopra's achievement.
Who is here after Neeraj Chopra winning Gold in Tokio Olympics 2020?
1:46 the physique of that guy especially legs are amazing
Are u real?
Your profile looks gorgeous 😍
@@shikamarunara9308 bro chill out, u sound rlly creepy rn
Best ever with the javelin; D2 LIGHTNING FURY JAVAZON
WTB AN SOJ?
why those people in the field not scared of being accidentaly hit by a javelin dam..
cake isgud they have eyes
Try it from 90 feet away. People would have time to move out of the way, dumbass.
@@albanianvalor If you're referencing the farthest throws, that's over 90 *meters* (which is closer to 300 feet)
Jan Zelezny. The Lagend
Seems like a javelin could be used fairly effectively for deer hunting.
Neeraj chopra 🇮🇳..2021
Tom pukstys is now the throwing coach at the highschool I’m at lol
I hope you realize how lucky you are to have a javelin coach who actually knows his craft. They are few and far between!
One of our ancestors created this concept a few hundred thousand years ago. Probably in Africa
oh my god
If this was cricket, they’d just make a pink javelin.
How much do you think a Javazon would throw?
Anthony Dahl what
# never played Diablo 2? NVM
we need lancer gae bolg !!!!
Trust me this guy knows what he is talking about
wow
the
sotput thoeo
shot put throw,,
r/ihadastroke
ohhh
What happened when the spear not stick to the ground does it still considered fair throw?
vexonica 02 yeah it still counts
If the officials can find a mark where it first touched ground. I doesn't really happen anymore with the modern specifications of the javelin.
title: that's what she said
So many juvenile and stupid comments.
Many demonstrate that they didn't watch AND listen to the video. Amazing!
..neeraj chopra the olympiad gold medalist from India in Tokyo 2021 is a classic example of this which the speaker refers to, he is not outrageously strong...just immense training, bio- mechanics of body suppleness and athleticism with consistency has made him among the best crop of javelin throwers out there...yess
Could be better if they were throwing on a (moving) target.
The Guy Sounds like Captain Sparklez
Who are here after Neeraj Chopra Gold?
we indians are current olympic champion. proud feeling
Miguel de la Quadra Salcedo: 112,30 m. ¿Dangerous? Yes. ¿Real récord? Yes.
imagine if someone threw the javelin so far it skewered someone in the audience
Uwe Hohns 104.80 M
Neeraj chopra legend 🇮🇳❤
Javelin throw can be made more interest with simple scoring system compared to the current best of all throws system -
1) Top 3 Best throws reward - 5, 3, 1 points
2) Beyond the 85 mark reward 1 point
This will make the game more interesting and every throw will count.
this will create toxic competition, it takes a lot to throw above 80m even once, next day your whole body pains, this will make athletes go extreme length to get better score and injuring themselves
Let's see some Spanish Technique throws!
Sorry, have looked for videos without success...a really freaky (and scary) way to throw, though.
How come they don't appear to throw at a 45 degree angle?
Tiexiao Wang wind resistance. Too big an angle more time in the air more resistance and more stalling. Too small an angle less lime in the air less flying time. Find the sweet angle where flight time is maximized and resistance is minimized.
its close to a 45
Wind resistance angle it up a little.
Even with the new javelin its not a ballistic flight. It glides a bit.
Think of targetted Javelin🙃
Faster Higher Stronger SCREAMER. 😅
What if thrown the wrong way? Isnt it dangerous for the crowds in the stand ?
Randi Santoso there's a 37.5 or so degree sector that the javelin must land inside to be considered fair. Very rarely to athletes not throw it inside this area. But yes it does happen sometimes, with all throwing events, that officials or other athletes get injured. Don't think it's ever been so bad as to hit the stands however
The discus throw has injured and killed many more people than the javelin, but the javelin is banned in high school in the majority of the States in the US, while the discus is legal in all!
Caliche Kid yeah I just throw javelin for my club track team
Whaou
in the beginning I though wow that's cool. But then: what does it bring me if there's no animals to kill with a spear? Just show, nothing more...
tres gentille
rabat rabatالله يرحم جميع المسلمين! زئزوزر
I can throw it 900m and I’m not even out the womb yet 💪🏻
lol I know what you think but try to do what they do actually go skeet shooting you will find out it's not as easy as it looks. Throwing a Javelin is easy 60 yards is my average. Shooting exercises one of the most important muscles in your body the mind. But at the same time I'm not great at explaining it, but lets just say you have to try it to understand it. So get off your computer and try it if you can.
