  • Опубликовано: 14 апр 2023
  • The Javelin has one of the most unique histories in track and field. Its renovations, records, and athletes, display a side of the sport that no one could have ever expected and is home to some of the greatest athletic achievements of all time.
    Also, hopefully it won't take another 7 months to come out with another WR vid on a conventional event oops

    It still astounds me that Zelezny nearly threw 100 meters even after the changes in the javelin were introduced. He was a monster of an athlete.

    Michael Landon, the actor who played Pa in Little House on the Prairie and Little Joe in Bonanza, was an excellent javelin thrower, with his 193 ft 4 in (58.93 m) toss in 1954 being the longest throw by a high schooler in the United States that year. Just thought you might like to know.

    Dick Held is a great name for a Javelineer.

    Zelezny's throw technique is wild. It looks like he is throwing a baseball, instead of a giant spear, the way his arm whips through so quickly.

      There actually footage of Zelezny in his prime throwing baseballs at an MLB facility or something at up to around 95mph. Dude definitely could’ve been a pitcher if he wanted to.

    Notice that all the javelin record holders, are basically all light and middle weights, but shot put record holders are basically all heavyweights.

    Uwe Hohn didn't continue into the "new javelin" era in 1986 on due to a major back injury sustained after East German coaches pushed him too hard in the weight room. It wasn't due to the change in the javelin for him.

    Nice video, I take a bit of issue with 22:42 though... Anderson Peters threw 90+ at 4 competitions last year before getting beat up on a boat and thrown overboard and ending his season, seems like he'll only get better from here. Johannes Vetter probably was the best prospect to throw 100 though, but I'm not sure if it will happen now with all his injuries. Is a shame as we might have to wait another generation for another prospect...

    In 1970, Al Cantello was an assistant coach under Jim Gehrdes at the NAVAL ACADEMY. I was a triple jumper on the plebe squad and Al gave me A LOT of advice on that event. He was truly a man with EXTENSIVE track and field knowledge

    Given the constant redesigns to make long throws more difficult, I wonder what distances today's elite throwers would be reaching using the equipment of the 1950's.

    Minor error, you say egil danielsen held the first norwegian record, but you also have a G. Gran from Norway with a 19th century record. Not sure which is the error, curious to know
