@@jasmeetsingh5948 uhhh the javelins shape was never different, it’s center of gravity was changed, and the tail was thickened. That was in 1984, this comp was in 1993
I'm as tall as him, but I lack something, since I can only lift 60kg in bench and I throw around 40m max. I can't imagine how can anybody throw even 50m, I cannot do that, ever
Myths..... “I have seen Seppo snatch 200 kg, benchpress 450 kg and throw 80 m standing in the javelin throw in Lanzarote in 1991-1992 HUNG OVER” I swear I was there. Check with Seppo where he went to training camps those years.
Incredible talent, perfect technique, his run up does not slow at all into the throw. Unbeatable. So many muscled up throwers these days. Lots of big talk and predictions. So many with one or two or a few big throws and then they fade away. Zelezny is legend.
I beat him once - in Euro Juniors in '85 - he was quick and skinny - too quick for his technique at the time - in '87 he set the 1st of his WR's - now at 98m which I don't think will be broken in my lifetime or his - quite simply the greatest T&F athlete of all time.
Love watching Zelezny throw! Was lucky enough to see him compete at the 2001 worlds and throw a 92.8m for the gold, while Aki Parviainen threw a 91.31m
He changes his runup in the second throw, watch the follow through compared to the first. Imagine having just thrown 95m and missed the WR by centimetres. He adapted an extra 30 cm out of his runup and still threw further! Javelin genius was Jan.
No modern carbon fibre javelin either .. just a good old Sanvik Champion, not to mention his world record 98.48 done with an OTE (red/silver) jav .. quite incredible!
@@apollosun2913 I think Apollo stopped making javelins after the old rules changed or som? I don’t really remember but I’ve only heard abt those javelins never seen one
kimmern999 Because athletes wouldn't eat that. There is no benefit at all. It will only set them back, and athletes don't have their whole life to train for the Olympics(or whatever competition).
Tom Visser Not true at all. There are many top athletes that are more concerned about getting the needed calories than eating what people label "healthy". Mostly long distance runners and athletes competing in weight categories (like weightlifting, boxing or olympic wrestling) need to watch their weight and thus watch their diet carefully. In sports where it is more important than to build muscles/mass or make sure to keep up with the energy consumption, calorie intake is more important than anything. Besides, there are a lot of calory rich McDonalds/Burger King dishes that are not particularly unhealthy.
Maybe javelin is not as populair amongst great audiences, but does that make them better sporters? Because in that case the greatest sporters would be all football players since they get the most attention in the world... Bolt has shown dominance over a couple of years and speeds people could never imagine, but Zelezny shown distances far greater than any big javelin thrower has ever achieved (with the modern javelin at least). I think it's really hard to compare!
Zelezny: 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Judges: Oh dude, you just missed the world record! So close! Zelezny: Hold my beer. What a legend. I did not realize this until recently but he very nearly won 4 Olympic titles in a row. He won in ‘92, ‘96 and ‘00 and was just 16 centimeters from gold in ‘88. Wow.
***** same rules same javelins go wikipedia for it. these 2 throws are 2. and 3. best throws in the world. He ofc has the WR 98.48 also thrown with modern days javelin.
Does anyone know if this was a competition with 4 or 6 rounds? I know Zelezny threw 87.06, 95.34, 95.66, and 89.02 in this competition. But I don't know about the 2 other throws (if there were any) Were they foul? Anyone who's got any info on this?
I wonder how far Zelezny's throws would've gone with the older spec javelin. Safe to say that change was needed considering even the new one threatened Jim Rosenthal's position and he'd throw 3m further than this...
Yes, hence the "(in comparison)".......-.- 2nd best javelin thrower ever (with the latest model) is roughly 5.5% worse than the best javelin thrower of all time. Let's say the same difference in performance would occur on the 100m. Usain Bolt is the fastest man ever and runs it in 9.58s. If he was as dominant as Zelezny then the 2nd fastest man ever over 100m would only do 10.11s... Puts stuff in to perspective doesn't it? (rough estimates sorry internet)
Yeah, but you can't say that it's easier to beat Usain Bolt then to beat Jan Zelezny. I also think it's more likely the world record of Bolt will be broken than the WR of Zelezny, since people like Gay has run pretty close to the WR, while in javelin throw noone came within 5m of the WR ever
No way man, I'm Greek and I'm telling you, Zelezny is probably in the top 10 of athletes ever, across all sports. Bolt is not and I agree with the other guy here, Johan Blake's ridiculous progress makes Bolt look guilty by association, sorry.
How can you say that, because more people run the 100m in general? So football has the highest level of competition in the world? I'm not sure about that
Bumbero he throws to the right side a bit because he´s technique is unique. He twist he´s arm way far back left so he´s not throwing with a straight hand. This gives him a longer pull on the javelin.

Jan however...is a monster.. this is ridiculous.
Probably not since it's a tragic accident and a failure on the organizers part. Tero Pitkämäki didn't get charged with anything when he actually did hit another athlete with a stray javelin. It was on friday 13 july 2007. He hit Salim Sdiri, a French long jumper.
WARNING: Do not throw like Jan if you are new to javelin (or normal). He is a freak of nature and every other person to try and throw like him has fucked up their shoulder beyond belief.
However your still correct it’s the same javelin that everyone now uses, it isn’t the old javelin, no steroids, he didn’t cheat, he was just very talented and very very disciplined in this event, he loved it too, he was holding a javelin in his wedding picture lmao 😂
@@Stuka-eo2sz Originally it was changed because of Uwe Hohn true, but there were still loopholes in the rules which helped javelin manufacturers create javelins that fly further than others with the same exact throw until the end of 1991, after which the current javelin has been a standard for everybody. For example Seppo Räty threw a world record 96.96m which such a javelin, but the record was later nullified.
@@kanqquperze yes, that was I believe 1991, they stopped making them right after they were banned, I believe also in 1991, they had grooves on them to supposedly help with aerodynamics or whatever, but I seriously doubt zelezny ever used one maybe once or twice for testing purposes but I think zelezny never did that at all never used a grooved javelin.

Zelezny looks quite like a ordninary man, not as muscular as many athletes but his speed and technique are oustanding!
There was a huge amount of strength in that body though.
Very flexible, and he didn't slow down much while reaching back to throw. It was like he was triple jumping sideways.
I'm as tall as him, but I lack something, since I can only lift 60kg in bench and I throw around 40m max. I can't imagine how can anybody throw even 50m, I cannot do that, ever
Muscles are nothing! This is just a looks
Thinks bro
I've seen him throw 97 measured and 99-100 on practice throw wich he stepped over a bit. :D At Kuortane Finland, in the 90's

Foul seems the most obvious reason.
And perhaps he didn't throw the last round, having already won the competition and having set a WR?
couldn't agree more. Having thork take steroids is the only thing that even has a chance of coming close to
