NOTE

JAVELIN THROW

The javelin throw is a track and field event where athletes compete to throw a javelin, a long and slender spear-like object, as far as possible. The event has ancient roots and was part of the original Olympic Games in ancient Greece.

Equipment:

  1. Javelin: Typically made of metal, fiberglass, or carbon fiber with a minimum length of 2.6 meters (8.5 feet) for men and 2.2 meters (7.2 feet) for women.

2 Runway: A straight, narrow path, approximately 30-36.5 meters (98.4-119.8 feet) long, where the athlete gains momentum before releasing the javelin.

Technique:

  1. Grip: The javelin is held with a secure but relaxed grip, usually with the index and middle finger wrapped around the shaft and the thumb resting on the side for control.
  2. Approach: The athlete performs a short, fast run (around 10-15 strides) to build momentum, holding the javelin above their shoulder with the tip pointing slightly downwards.
  3. Crossover steps: The athlete takes two to four quick crossover steps to prepare for the throwing action. These steps help align the body and create torque for a powerful throw.
  4. Release: The thrower releases the javelin at the end of the crossover steps, transferring their momentum from the approach and leg drive into the throw. The throwing arm is extended fully, and the javelin is released smoothly and with a whipping action.

Rules:

  1. Athletes must throw the javelin within the boundaries of the designated sector, which is a 29-degree arc extending from the runway's end.
  2. The tip of the javelin must hit the ground first for the throw to be valid.
  3. The throwing motion must be continuous and smooth, without hesitation or pausing.
  4. Athletes are allowed three or four attempts, depending on the competition rules, and the best legal throw counts towards their final result.
  5. If an athlete steps on or over the runway's white line, it is considered a foul, and the throw is invalidated.
