"it got Dangerous for the high jumpers" 😂😂😂😂
His Javelin throw is so smooth and beautiful.
You’re a nice man
sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost my account password. I would love any help you can give me.

I'm 71. When I was 15, I won javelin contests against boys as old as 18. I haven't thrown since a kid, but now am getting back into it. I've signed up for a senior track meet for seniors, taking place in Utah, October 2023. I practice each evening, by throwing a long guava stick.
Hey, ich hoffe Dein Wettbewerb im Oktober war super👍. Ich habe riesigen Respekt vor Dir! Hut ab und weiterhin viel Spaß beim Werfen. Wie weit bist Du gekommen? Alles beste Josef
@@josefkoller7087Hallo Josef, danke. Es war mein erster Leichtathletikwettkampf seit meinem 15. Lebensjahr. Bin jetzt 71. Im Speerwerfen war ich nicht gut. Sie ermöglichen ein sehr leichtes Speerwurfverhalten (500 Gramm), und die Spitze reichte nicht herunter, um in der Erde zu stecken - ich hatte also keinen guten Wurf. Ich hätte heimlich ein paar Nickelmünzen auf die Speerspitze kleben sollen. Allerdings durfte ich mit dem kanadischen Team (ich bin ein Yankee) an einem Staffellauf teilnehmen, und wir bekamen Bronze. Es gab eine 99-jährige Frau aus Oregon, die 1500 Meter ununterbrochen schwamm, um Gold zu holen!
that's awesome man, i', still a young guy but it's awesome seeing people of all ages still involved with athletics. hope the meet went well!
WELL HE IS NOW THE OLYMPIC CHAMPION
Near the Olympic record as well! Over 90m, bravo!
no he's not chopra is
@@karthikkrishna1439 This is from 4 YEARS AGO ASS WIPE
@@Chattahoochee_Chief
Not anymore
@@karthikkrishna1439inform yourself before saying stuff like that, an olympic champion will always be an olympic champion. You Indians always talk so great of Chopra and seemingly don't even know about the sport nor the olympics. Not every single javelin post is about Neeraj Chopra, he has nothing to do with this post so just leave it out of here. He hasn't even thrown 90m yet, which Max Dehning at 19 years old did. You have over a billion residents and just one olympic champion, rubbing it under everyone's nose like your a sports nation is pathetic
What a brilliant sport. And what a brilliant athlete. Worth going to Germany for.
Röhler told that people recognize him more often in Finland than in Germany.
Suomi!!!!!!!
Well in Finland javelin is the national sport basically :P Germans do like all sports very well.
+SanteeNL Ger = Spear, Germany = land of the spears men!
That could be true, in Finland people respect all javelin throwers.
All the BIGGEST throws have been from the Germans, first Uwe Hohn throws 104.80m, because of this throw the javelins are changed, then Jan Zelezny Czech republic 98.48m, then Vetter, with his huge 97m, I reckon he will not only hit the 100m I'm predicting 101.34m I've been constantly dreaming this, I don't know why, but I just have this feeling VETTER will not just break the record , BUT THE FIRST MAN OVER 100M with current javelin.
Doing quick revision for tomorrows competition. A newbie thrower here :D
Hong Liang Pun exactly me 😀
Same lol
Me too
Hong Liang Pun same here

Olympic champion and a throw over 90m. Well deserved 👏👏
Javelin lacks one thing: a target.
Javelin is distance, not accuracy
The target is the distance, maybe
Exactly !!!
I just use my dog
😂😂
I got a silver medal for Panama at the Central American Master Atheltics Championship in Guatemala, on October 12, 2019 using all these techniques. Absolutely helpful.
The vision and quality of content on this channel is amazing. I'm very impressed by this whole project. Big ups to the creators of these mini docs. Our schools should show these to our youth in physical education programs.
+dylkim Thanks! Comments like yours make it all the more worthwhile!
dylkim wow
2:03 thats my pb
this is the best video I have ever seen for javelin.........a super helpful video........,.... thanks a lot .............
Thanks Attri! Glad to hear you found it useful
Step One: the Happy Horse Prance
Step Two: lean back with the Half-Naruto Run
Step Three: Trip and Fall, accidentally flailing the javelin forward
Step Four: Stop yourself from falling down before the white line
Spartan will be proud.
congratulations on your gold at rio 2016
He threw the javelin like a literal paper plane....man has my respect 👏
This makes me respect Alexander the Great's "Elite Javelin Throwers" a lot more! (I could never picture a javelin thrower) They were the bane of cavalry and chariots among others during his unmatched campaign.
Dangerous stuff! :) ;)
I've got a sports comp representing my school tomorrow and have never thrown a javelin so this is very helpful training
A good athlete and very well spoken. Strong body and mind. Truly inspiring
Thomas is a really good teacher !
I’m watching this being a fast bowler and a lot of the technique makes sense now!
Wow I can't believe this video hit 230.000 views already, it seems that javelin is getting more popular lately :D
Yeah it’s sad it’s not as popular in the US as other countries
1 mil now
THERES nothing in athletics more MAJESTIC when u see the javelin soaring thru the air and hearing the audiences gasps of WOOW, OMG, WHOA ETC
@@thehawkman8017 especially if it’s a 90+m throw
Such a great series
I used this for my cadet athletics competition and I came first out of like 100 other cadets, good advice 👍
Perfect explanation without reveal real secret. You witty guy
A new Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra, now
Rohler throws 90m he is 🐐
I have track and field and this really helped Thanks
This guy is helping a lot cause I'm in a slump rn. Only hitting 110ft when my PR is 128.5 ft (I know its till bad but its my second year throwing so go easy on me). But Thomas is a great teacher and hopefully after he retires he coaches the next generation
Thx soooooo much for making this vid !!!
Thanks heaps for this video! I compete nationally in Javelin and no coach has talked to me about some of this stuff. I really think this is going to add a couple of meters to my throws! Thanks heaps!
Let us know if it helps, Markus!
World Sport
Thought I’d let you know, I have reached a pb of 64.98m earlier this year. This video definitely helped!
I've looped the throw he made at 0:21 20 times just to see THAT FORM
Thank you so much
i've got to do this in sports class tomorrow so i thought hey take some inspiration from the pros
Amina Surname Yes same
I'm here for a provincial meet... That I didn't expect because I just competed at lower levels just for fun but oh my , I need this vid . Thank you so much💗
Very nice and helpfully thank you my dear friend
Very helpful presentation. I would only add that there is sometimes confusion about the purpose of the run-up. Its purpose is to overcome the inertia of the torso. The forward pitch of the torso and rotation of the shoulders over the block are what generate most of the power for the throw. As Thomas says, only 20% of the power is due to the arm. This is especially apparent in Zelezny's best throws.
Good job Thanks and best wishes
Guy looks like he can be a 800 meter runner. Great arm speed and technique. Hope he gets the WR.
I have a competition the next few days and im freaking nervous since im a new thrower and not really into javelin but got choosen.
thank you bro
thanks for sharing Thomas nicely explained too ☺
Thanks for watching!
can you make more javelin videos as there is not many videos that are helpfull like this one :D
+theis steensen We've got a lot more Olympic sports to get through but we'll see what we can do!
+World Sport I agree this is the most helpful video I've seen if you could, please please please make another

My favorite thrower
Thanks that helps me for USATF Nationals tomorrow
Hope it goes well!
oh this may me make me crazy to throw javelin for life time
informative video...
This helped me actually I have a stadium cluster competition and they moved me to do it with the 17 year olds and I'm only 15
Exelent n amazying❤️ trainning
Super
Really helpful for tomorrow's competition. Thanks a lot
I have two more track meets left this year and 11 more feet to qualify for state competition, I'm sure it's possible and I think this video definitely helped.
im a little late but goodluck, tell me if you made it btw I would appreciate to know :)
@@Stuka-eo2sz unfortunately I didn't quite make it, at our district meet I missed qualifying by a few feet. This year's season is about to start soon though, and I'm super excited to start again, I think I could easily make it this year.
@@hannahskinner9975 nice, I’m doing the javelin this year and hoping to make it to my state meet, very confident ( I’m a freshman ) goodluck btw
@@Stuka-eo2sz That's awesome! good luck to you too, javelin is by far my favorite track event
@@hannahskinner9975 it’s my favourite too, it’s a neat event isn’t it?
Liked, Subbed, Commented. Amazing content, love it!
+Martin Linksmas Cheers Martin! You're the best!
I have prelims for school athletics on Friday, I've got through before and done really well, and i need some tips! hopefully this will help! so I'll tell you the results on Friday!!
Georgia Stringer how did u do

County championship tomorrow thanks Thomas
this is awesome
+Maxi doucette Thanks! We've got a whole series of Road to Rio features you might like as well! bit.ly/1q5SEN1
+World Sport this really helped
I want to throw with that grip now at 2:17 the way I was thought was similar but the thumb is on the pole or at least half of it
The cross training with table tennis was unexpected. Wonder if there are any dual champions? (there probably simply isn't time to compete at both on the elite level tho)
ALSO YOU WILL KNOW ITS A PERFECT THROW AS THERES THE MOST INCREDIBLE FEELING WHEN YOU'VE TRULY HIT THE THROW AT THE PERFECT ANGLE AND HOW IT PROPELLS YOU FORWARD, U JUST " KNOW " THAT ITS A BIG THROW ONCE U GET THAT " FEELING " OF " WHOA " ONCE YOUVE TRULY HIT IT AND IT LEAVES YOUR HAND SO EFFORTLESSLY, MANY TIMES AT TRAINING I ALWAYS " AIMED " FOR THAT PERFECT RELEASE, IM CLAPPING, YELLING OUT " YES!!!" ONCE I KNOW IVE HIT IT BEAUTIFULLY...
his throw is so beautiful is absurd
Make more man PLEASE
i have local javelin but how can i buy javelin like you use one for world championship
Wow
I really want to go to the Olympics i won 1st place in javelin in track and field
I just had 1 javelin practice today, I’m doing it tmrw in a meet 😭
I am doing this for homework! LOL
If anyone here knows where the Powys county is I'm the best 13 year old javelin thrower right now in Powys (Wales) with a throw of 29.80m ( but only at my age)
Not me watching this before a multi school comp because I have no idea how to throw a javelin 🤡
I don't even know how I came second in my age group to get sent to this comp, I literally got 2 fouls 😭😭

+Thomas Röhler - Javelin Thanks for filming with us Thomas!
esto fue hecho antes de las olimpiadas....que raro que la mayoria de los entrevistados ganaron😱
Amazing. Fucking brilliant! Love to have a go.
What if my shoulder or elbow start to hurt after throwing? What am i doing wrong and how can I correct it?
Elbow injuries are common in javelin throwing, and it's mostly due to technical faults, in which the muscles aren't used correctly, therefore forcing them, which could lead to potential injuries
Watched this like 30x now trying to master jav
What is PR
thank you for the advice. im gonna join the roman army and this will really help me!
I don't know very much about Javelin toss or any of these athletic sports but I have begun watching several of these already. I would like to learn this so please correct me if I am blissfully ignorant of what I'm saying. It would seem to me that wind speed and other conditions would be a factor to this but wouldn't tossers prefer a specific degree of toss all the time? From a mathematical perspective, wouldn't 45 degrees be the best toss in all situations? I apologize if I'm very incorrect but I would like to learn the intricacies of this.
I agree mate and thats coming from Einstein series 2.0.
Atma youre right but many people reccomend lower than that, 35ish degrees as the javelin will lift in the air and the way the back muscles are angled is very conducive to a lower angled yet still high throw, just think of pushing a car, you want to engage your back to the fullest you can not to mention your throw will get a nice boost from your run up if your legs are working from that sort of angle
Atma also a human is a human and its difficult to achieve a perfect anything, when you are in the throw the angle at which your release point is positioned will rapidly increase in a short time so beginning the throw in a slightly angle will allow you to naturally rise towards that 44.99999 degree angle 😊
Thanks for the info! Yes, I do understand what you mean... it would be difficult to get a specific angle consistently, even with practice. Even if it's in muscle memory, nerves still play a vital role in competitions along with adrenaline, mental state, the works.
In general keep this in mind: head wind 37 degrees, normal wind 40ish degrees, tailwind 42ish degrees.
A javelin is no ball, therefore 45 degrees is not optimal. With headwind you generally throw a little bit lower since the javelin will general more lift this way and glide longer. With back wind you can put your javelin "on top" of the wind by throwing it a tiny bit higher. 40 degrees is the generally advised angle I believe.
is there a reason why the throwing side foot, in his case his right foot, is not thrown forward? i don't know anything about javelin throwing just curious, it seems that you would gain more force by doing so
the reason its not thrown forward is because you are using it to force yourself into your left foot or block. This causes your body to slingshot over your block, your penultimate step foot (right foot int this case) cant go forward due to it still being behind.
oh ok thanks for the explanation!
how to release the javelin please
The NIGHT KING send me here
FULANODETAL hahaha me too!
How much weight javelin rod???
800g
The Anglo-Saxons and Vikings would be scared of you.
is it good to run before throwing for beginners???
fadil mohammed for begineers is better to just do the crosses
0:35
Just for the english/german people, search about Miguel de la Cuadra Salcedo and how to throw the jabaline REALLY far
That looks so impeccable. He just might be the European champion in about three hours.
nope haha
Haha yep, maybe the stadium surface was not for him. Happy for my countryman Ruuskanen though. I hope they'll have a tight match in the olympics.
We thought Rohler was going to smash it. It does set up what should be a brilliant competition in Rio!
He had to deal with injuries prior to the competition, so he wasn't as fit as he should've been. But the Olympics totally made up for that!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
mashallah
What annoys me is I release at the same angle and guess what, it lands flat :/ every time.
i think you should put more power and aim at the sky
Either, you’re dropping your elbow, or you’re not throwing it far enough for the tip to turn towards the ground
No offense to the other replies but you should try flicking your fingers when you throw worked amazing for me
@@thtboitrue414 that’s a good tip for sure
It looks so similar to a cricket ball throw.
