NOTE
JAVELIN
A javelin is a sharp-tipped, lightweight throwing spear that is used in
sporting events. The javelin throw is an event in the Olympics.
BASIC SKILLS IN JAVELIN
- The grip. In the finish hold, the whole finger is wrapped round the cord
with the index finger straight at the edge of the shaft and the javelin
comfortably resting on the palm.
- The carriage.The javelin is carried over the head at the initial stage of the
run -up with the missile carried slightly above the head level and the tip of
the missile slightly pointing upwards.
- Run- up.The purpose of the run-up is to enable the thrower gather
enough momentum and get into the throwing mood. The run-up can be
divided into three parts.
- The release. At this point of throw, the toe of the leading leg points
sideways. The body weight is slightly shifted to the rear leg, the free hand
slightly raised with the elbow pointing sideways and used to maintain
balance.
- Follow through and recovery: this is when the thrower comes out of the
rear of the sector
