With 98m48 Jan Železný is the best javelin thrower in history. He was 3 times olympic gold medalist (1992-1996-2000) and silver medalist in 1988. Music : Heart of courage - Two steps from hell

I am an athlete. I saw Jan Zelezny in a training camp with my own eyes. It was around 1989-1990. His coach asked to the athletes present to kindly move away from the whole ground... We didn't recognize him immediately... On the contrary, we thought who is this moron... Then, at the first training throw (with three steps only) we realized that he was a master... Impressive!!! The thing that still impressed me today, 30 years later, is the extraordinary acceleration he could impart to the javelin. The acceleration was amazing. And also I remember well the javelin vibrated in the air and sound never want to come down... There is no video or description that could give an idea of the Zelezny throwing power. Impressive!

Javelin is so hard on the body, most throwers can only peak world class for 3-5 years, people like Thorkildsen/Pitkamaki did it for 7-11 years. Zelezny did it for nearly 20 years, winning bronze at the 2006 European champs at 40 YEARS OLD (!) and making his debut on the world stage around 1987. What an absolute legend! Imagine someone like Thomas Rohler who really hit world class in 2015 being around in 2035 :D

Genetic freak, half human, half beast. Or that was actually a bionic arm, there's no other explanation. Zelezny is the most dominating athlete I know, I don't know why he isn't more famous (well yes I do, because he reigned before hyper marketing times). His sport is just as classic and appealing as the 100m dash and he was just as dominating as Usain Bolt is, if not more. And he was always the smallest of all his opponents. A true legend.
@bensullivan55626 жыл бұрын
He has thrown 98.48m, and the next best thrower after that is Thomas Rohler at 93.9m. Noone even gets close to Jelezny. His record will be the toughest in athletics to break for a long time, dare I say it, harder than it will be to break Bolt's 9.58s in the 100m.

Callum Sheldrake the javelin isn't really affected by wind force and drag. They would need to throw while a hurricane carried the javelin further in order to be really affected by the wind enough to achieve a new WR. Now, considering that most of the important international competitions are executed inside of a stadium, it's less likely that the javelin will be affected by wind.

With smile on his face, he told, that after rehabilitation is everything fine. Once, he throw over 100m, but it was not recognized as official record, due to non official type of javelin he threw. That was huge disappointment for him, because he was using that javelin for practising and it wasn't just certified.

Yeah, they changed the center of gravity requirement around the time Zelezny threw 104 meters as it was becoming a risk to high jumpers at the end of the field. The guy is almost superhuman. With a further forward center of gravity, the tip fell faster and reduced flight distance. It also made foul throws less likely. Tail first fouls. I threw a lot as a decathlete, best 57 meters. Had strained inner elbow tendons so often and most Javelin throwers do. Very few can do it for years without very sore elbows, and if they don't get that, it's back and hip injuries. Brutal event.

@@manofgod7622 Sorry, have no idea about rugby. But considering that the animal would be a moving, maneuvering target, the meta would be for a group of hunters to sneak in as close as possible and then launch the spears in unison thereby maximizing the chances of a kill. So in any case, the effectiveness of the guy who can throw the furthest would be limited by what the weakest member of the group can do.

What an absolute FREAK of an athlete!!! 6'1" (1.84m) 190 lbs (86kg) and arm speed and hip thrust like no one has ever seen. I want to know what Jan would have run the 100m and long jump etc. I can almost guarantee that with this type of fast twitch muscle and his body type - he could have probably been a very good decathlete as well. I am just throwing that out there because I was a decathlete, haha

I remember the golden age of the javelin big 3 domination from Jan Zelezny, Steve Backley and Seppo Räty. Their rivalries in Barcelona and Atlanta summer olympics were tremendeous, but Zelezny always had the upper hand. Like there was only left to compete for 4th place.

Lightness of hand, perfect form, and what a quick arm ! His record will be very difficult to top. So many throwers these days are musclebound guys with large egos. Jan Zelezny is so self-effacing, humble, and what a technician. No one comes close to his form and execution. I wish that I had had the opportunity to study him when I was throwing high school and college in the 70's. And what a long consistent career! Would love to meet him....

College intructors in in 1972 never got me to throw over 180 feet. But in HS I threw one year as a senior with no help 204 ft. went to state but coach crossed me up. only place 10th. Wish I had seen this video when I was a Kid. 65 now. Thanks for keeping the memories real. (ps I've had 2 hole in ones on par fours) plus a few others.
