His world record is insane. It has 1365 points according to world athletics, which is the highest of any male WRs. That is equivalent to running the 100m in 9.55 sec!!!
I still watch this video after throwing back in 1979. Just love it. it's in my favorites. I did the back step and only threw 204 ft. He did the cross over which I could not do. The best women throw like i did. I could throw 180 feet with 2 steps. This Jan guy has enspired me as a grand fathers to teach my grandsons and daughters to go 300 feet as well like Jan. Just love this video and thanks.
Poetry in motion - bit like Johnathon Edwards... just so much better than the rest, head and shoulders above. His technique is absolute poetry in motion! It’s about, balance, zen, a clear mind and...practise, practise, practise.
Neeraj uses a different technique. I am astonished how Jan Zelezný threw 90+ with much ease. True Legend. Even Neeraj says that he was expecting a Silver in Tokyo 2020 as there was another legend present - J Vetter.
@@ankitvashishth6595 Javelin weight got increased and shape also got changed so that flat landing can be avoided(By shifting the center of gravity). So its not that current champions are not as gr8 as the 80s athletes. If the current athletes were to use the same javelin they might even break their record. Another reason is as the competition was inc. so they thought if this continues then we would need bigger area, bigger stadium as ppl were able to throw beyond 100 meters.
Loved seeing the javelin throw here-the backdrop of the Olympic arch-when shown from that angle-you could see (in slo-mo of course lol) whether the javelin was flying straight-by matching it to the arch-what a games-what a legend zelezny was-come on rio 2016-gb have a few good young uns-proving that London 2012 left a legacy-just witnessed dibaba today 17/7/15 break a 20 yr old 1500metres record-proving there are no limits to what humans are capable of!!!!!!!!!

Jan, you are unbeaten in the javelin, but only few man practice this sport. I am Gaetano Di Giorgio and no one beat me in the pebble throw. Please take your airplane and come in my airfield Minotaurus e Medusa in Sicily (Many pilots of the Czech Republic landed here). I wait you for a meeting. Gaetano Di Giorgio
@@TheGaetanomariadigio Many things must have changed in these nine years are you still interested in javelin,or pebble throw Do you get the chance to meet with Jan?
Incredible! But if i don't touch i don't believe (like san Thomas) (my 130 meters are first touch on the ground; i'm shure because the pebbles hit the trees.
No doubt Jan was a rockstaa..but back then dimensions of javelin were a little different it helped throwers a bit now the centre of mass of javelin has been modified a little to provide safety to high jumpers . So throwing this humongous a throw is now not having any help from the javelin itself. The point is I believe vetter is the greatest of all as of now. PS : my fav is indian superstar neeraj chopra 🇮🇳🇮🇳
It depends on conditions as well, Vetter ne isi saal Europe mein 96 metres feka tha but Japan ke Hot & Humid Conditions mein it is not easy to throw. Let Neeraj go to some European Championships and then we will see him 90+ for sure.

So nice to watch him throwing. For me best technique ever. Everything looks well coordinated and on point.
Fun fact for any Železný fans out there: His surname means "iron" as in the adjective. Quite fitting right? :)
Oh fer sure! ❣️🇨🇿
My son just got one today and we are going to go try it out this afternoon. He hopes to compete after high school. Thx for the inspiration.
Updates?
Any updates?

Bro Jan threw 98.48 with the new model .......this record stands till date.....modern throwers struggle at 80m lol......some can't even go 70
to this day, nobody attack him or our Barbora Spotakova!

a bunch of Indians, apparently.

I am here after after Neeraj chopra's GOLD.....Jai hind
Hit like
At least he performed at the biggest stage, unlike Vetter.
Bahut badhiyan
Neeraj Chopra ❤️❤️❤️
Does anyone know if this was an old-rules javelin or a new-rules one?
new-rules. old rules went out in '82.
Correction:'86
New rules
@@TheDeJureTour I am pretty sure it was 86. I threw the old one in '85 then in '86 threw the newer one with the weight toward the front.
Thanks for the question
Only 130 meters (the past spring)
I wait you, after we going for a breakfast, near my airfield
See ya
0:23 under 90m
Any Indians here?
No
Didn't even give the distance.
Vertical Horizon it was 89.66m. The Olympic record at the time
Fast forward to tokyo 2021,
And gold is awarded at 87.58m.
its a foul throw technically
Is this attempt is dead as belt was removed while throwing???
@IwontSay Maybe
Neeraj Chopra : The new Jan Zelezny!
Pehle 90 m toh cross karle, phir rohler aur vetter head and shoulder aage hai
Why new, why not better
Why not best 😀
@@nikhilchopra4200 Neeraj Ka age Dekh

Incredible!

He looks so Similar to Neeraj chopra
Looks much similar to Messi than neeraj
Wait I am the first one here after neeraj chopra gold?
the audience isn't watching at all
Rohler copies the same technique.
Didn't include how far he threw? I guess, 100 meters? 😏 Haha 😂
@TheGaetanomariadigio he did quit throwing ( Since 2006 ) and believe me.. you woul've lost. ( very bad )

Then you know nothing about the modifications .The last modification was done in 1986 or 1991 I guess .This throw is of the new design only
