In 2012 a German athletics official was killed on the field when he went out too early and was hit by the javelin in the throat. So yeah, you won't be seeing me on the field anytime soon.
As the original Olympic Games were all about preparing for battle and weapons of war, these guys are monsters. Now I wish they would create a sport that would combine javelin distance with accuracy.
Germanicus lost around 25000 man for nothing. Arminius wasnt destroyed, he fought after the germanicus conquest against the germanic marbod with an army of 74000 man and won. The celts werent superior in military. They were conquered in the north by germanic tribes. Gallia was just better for farming, Germania on the other hand got amber and Blond hair. The battle of idistaviso was mostly roman Propaganda and was not decisive for the war. Also the germanic wars of drusus and tiberius targeted the conquest of Germania till the elbe.
Javelin and Spear throwing is so epic... I see it and my body react, ancestral neural connection regenerate in my brain, I feel the throw..the wait, the expectation and the ''kill''. Bringing me back to so many past life as a Hunter-gatherer...lol
@@Adisonadibeba Okay, sorry then. I don't know too much about this sport so I didn't know it didn't fit the context. I thought you didn't know about Zelezny and thought all the best throwers were German so I suggested the name in a good faith.
If you can understand physics and the parabolic path of projectiles first mentioned by Galileo, it becomes hindsight for them to understand whether or not it will be a "good" one. Any kind of sport involving throwing or launching (javelin throw, hammer throw, discus throw, shot put etc) always requires an athlete to aim for a 45° angle with the most power as that generates the furthest range for the projectile.
it’s just like shooting a basketball, after tons of repetitions practicing to throw the perfect release you will instantly know by feel that it’s going in or in javelin perspective that it was a good throw
Javelin is way harder than I expected, I practiced shot put, discus and hammer, but non was as challenging as javelin throw. I almost patted myself when I finally managed to make it land right on the tip. My best shot so far is 34m lol.
@@stew880 its true - I can barely make 2m! I even do a little yell when I release it (not too loud so I don't wake up the neighbours - I like throwing at night in my backyard :)). Well I guess the old arms just aren't what they used to be. That's why I eat spinach every day now. Yup, me, my dog, and a can of spinach, as well as night time javelin throwing, really gets the juices flowing again!!
that's the drama of the Olympics you need to be in topform on that specific day you trained for for 4 years As a German I was heartbroken, that Vetter couldn't adapt to the new Tokyo floor, but I'm happy for India's first athletics gold medal
@@karludwig8722 true i had seen this video years ago and i was almost sure Germans will finish in top 3 in 2020 Tokyo. But one thing led to another and Voila Our Neeraj won gold.
Well, see in many other sports India's players ranking was better then those players from whom they lost the match, it's really just about that day, neeraj also has gone through 2 injuries in his life, from that perspective maybe if he was not injured he have done much more magical, and he is just 23, he has time to improve his record , I wish he gets better and better......
95 m? Wow. Back in Australia i had a mate in yr 8 (Which make him about 14) who could throw 60 m With only a two step run up. Makes me wonder how far he could have went with proper training.
I hope to see NEERAJ chopra in this list in next 2 years. I believe he can throw over 90 just with a little more practice on his technique. He can right now do 87-88 but i believe 90 ain't too far
Does not mean he is best. Every athlete strive to be best . Once the stop doing that thats the end for them. Yes he has won gold and that matters to us but not to world. When its come to world best he is still quite behind in queue. And i believe he believes the same.

Most I ever got at school was 74.6m.. was only 15 though so probs could have competed in javelin. Used to love it at school as no one else seemed to understand that it’s not all about strength. The run up and your ability to transfer your weight are just as important if not more
I preferred being in the school rugby team over athletics. There are lots of people in this world that are good at things they don’t continue as a career
@@sullyo6068 it means I was in the top tier in my country and is the reason I was in clubs outside of education. I was also at the time in the army cadets. spent my childhood doing karate etc..kids 20 years ago weren’t like they are today. Stop crying because you are jealous
Well, these are olympian professional throwers, they are not going to hit the judges. You have like 7-10 seconds of air time on those throws. All you need to do is just side-step 3 feet to the left or right and you're good. And there's a reason why you are not on that field and they are. Because they are all current or past coaches of javelin throwers, ex amateur or professional javelin throwers themselves. Everyone knows what's at stake.

@@SergeantColdgirl physics in nutshell.
Timing. The better throw feels like less effort on release.
@@SergeantColdgirl 45 degrees is way too high of an angle. Optimal is 30-35, due to the javelin's centre of gravity.
