The Only World Record That Will Never Be Broken

This throw was just unbelievable...

“That javelin really could’ve hurt someone”, that’s literally what it was invented for

[rajangrewal]

It must be a great compliment to know that your perfomance actually forced a major change in the event.

When I was at school there was a girl who was just awesome. We had a sports carnival at a local private school ground and the girls javelin was held near the road. She asked for it to be moved but the sports teacher said no, since moving it would take room away from other sports and girls can't throw far anyway. She warned that she would be throwing towards the road. Sports teacher said it's fine. She threw the javelin, it slid over the power lines. She cut power to a suburb for a day and damaged a car when it fell off the lines. I think spite may have given her an edge. She almost made it to the 2000 olympics but her parents couldn't afford tuition or something.

“No one can ever break this record because we won’t let them.”

“I bet I could throw it over them mountains” . . .

Uwe hohn later coached neeraj chopra of India to win India's first Olympic gold in athletics. A legend in both playing and coaching career

Ohh yes, an entire football field, the national american unit of measurement of lenght

Fun fact: after the javelin change the longest throw was 98, 48 meters by Jan Železný in 1996 and this record stands to this day

This short should really be mentioning Jan Zelezny, the best javelin thrower of all time. This man threw it over 98 meters on the new and updated javelin. They made a javelin that was thought to be impossible to throw close to 100 meters and Zelezny threw it over 98 freaking meters. He was a legend that dominated javelin throwing for decades and there is no one who has even come close to having the run he had. His record is still valid all these decades later.

This monster trained India's Neeraj Chopra. Can't imagine someone facing him in a a Greek Battlefield in BC. Must be like how Brad Pitt threw the spear in Troy.

[theperfectbotsteve]

bro maxed out his throwing ability imagine doing something so well that you've hit the physical limit and no one can progress past you

[PaleoTribe]

Bro could feed his whole tribe for years if he was around in the Stone Age.

[JohnBrennan-ptkg]

He kept a whole team of pharmacists in business

[outdoorolli]

Every time he threw, three T80s turrets flew to space.

[naomikirisaki]

I swear this man can annihilate snipers with toothpick 💀

[digirogue]

Feel like that should be a separate record then. It's like doubling the weight of the shotput and keeping it in the same record category

I knew a former east german athlete. He had no idea what they put him on until they opened the files after the reunification.

[mattmillen]

Kinda reminds me of those lawn darts we had in the 70's.😂😂

[SonnyBubba]

In the Ancient Greek Olympics, the javelin was an accuracy contest (there was a target, not an attempt for distance.
