Javelin

The world record for the javalin is 140.80 meters.

A discus is a round disc, like a frisbee but without a lip going around the edge. You throw it by spinning yourself and then using your arm to increase the momentum so you get maximum distance.

1932 Summer Olympics: Mens Javelin Winner: Matti Jarvinen of Finland with a throw of 72.71 meters (238 feet 6 inches).

80 Meter Hurdles Winner: Babe Didrikson of USA with a time of 11.7 seconds.

you need an 800 gram javelin. it is usually 2.6 or 2.7 meters long.

They have to throw the javelin further than the rest of the competitors.

once a person throws their javelin, the distance is measured and recorded. once everyone has thrown, the winner is determined.

In general, a men's javelin weighs in at 800 grams and a women's javelin at 600 grams. This is not true across the board. Some rules organizations vary allowed weights by the thrower's size and age.

China is leading in terms of total golds, USA is leading in terms of total medal count.

The women's world record in the javelin throw is held by Barbora Špotáková of Czech Republic who threw the javelin 72.28 meters in 2008.

It depends, if you are still in middle school and throwing the 600 gram, the top prospects throw roughly 50 meters, but if you're in high school and throwing the 800 gram at 14, then probably around 45 meters would be good. If you want to be recruited you need to throw 180 feet minimum, but 60 meters or 200 feet if you want to make it big. I was one of the top u14 throwers in the country by throwing 50 meters, but a good thrower would throw 35-40 at 14 years old. Usually, there are 1 or 2 kids in high school that throw 70 meters, but 60 meters will get you basically anywhere.

There are several safety regulations that are put in place during javelin lessons. For example, it is a rule that all javelins should be thrown before anyone attempts to retrieve them. Another rule is the the throwing area should be cornered off to prevent anyone from walking through it during a lesson.

The Australian men's national record for javelin is 89.02 meters by Jarrod Bannister of Queensland at the Australian Championships in 2008. He broke the old record of 86.67 meters set by Andrew Currey in 2001.

yes there is the spike size and width are a huge difference. and the guideline rules for spikes in field events are slightly different than running events.

Only seventeen states allow Javelin as a field event in high school. Many other states such as Arizona are looking into adding the event.

quite a few wrist, elbow and shoulder when throwing the javelin itself then in the run up you have the ankle, knee, hip. Your spine also plays a part in it as well

The roles of any official in the throwing events in track and field are to make sure the athlete does not throw out of the throwing sector, make sure he/she doesn't step out of the runway or ring, and make sure that he/she steps out of the ring or runway correctly (runway must be entered and exited through the side, and throwing ring must be entered and exited through the back half of the ring).

A legal put shall be made from the shoulder, with one hand only, so that during the attempt, the shot does not drop behind or below the shoulder. A competitor must start from a stationary position inside the circle. It is a foul if the competitor: 1) After stepping into the circle, fails to pause before starting the put 2) After stepping into the circle, touches the circle, not including the inner face of the stopboard or band if one is used, or the ground outside the circle. 3) Puts the shot so it does not fall within the sector lines if used 4) After the shot has landed, does not exit through the back half of the circle

A lot of core strength contributes greatly in throwing, so ab work outs are always good. Lifting weights is a good thing too. You don't have to lift heavy though. Even light weights build muscle.

Keep in mind that muscle isn't everything in throwing events. Although arm strength is good to have, technique is the best thing to worry about. Your form is what sends your implement further than muscle does.
