There was a huge amount of strength in that body though.

Very flexible, and he didn't slow down much while reaching back to throw. It was like he was triple jumping sideways.

I'm as tall as him, but I lack something, since I can only lift 60kg in bench and I throw around 40m max. I can't imagine how can anybody throw even 50m, I cannot do that, ever

Muscles are nothing! This is just a looks

Thinks bro

Vetter?

@@jajaL926 this was posted 9 years ago, vetter didn’t even compete 9 yrs ago so yea

Because that time javelin was in different shape which could be maximum thrown above 100-105 m but now it's shape and weight is changed and centre of gravity of jevlin is shifted clooser to the tip and not in centre this is done for the safety of players as many events are being played side by side like long jump shutout hammer throw discuss throw etc in a same foeld

@@jasmeetsingh5948 uhhh the javelins shape was never different, it’s center of gravity was changed, and the tail was thickened. That was in 1984, this comp was in 1993

Myths..... “I have seen Seppo snatch 200 kg, benchpress 450 kg and throw 80 m standing in the javelin throw in Lanzarote in 1991-1992 HUNG OVER” I swear I was there. Check with Seppo where he went to training camps those years.

Jan said in interviews that he never threw over his world record in training.

Oh my,Sir!

Big talk? from who?

ScousePhotographer Wow you Sir, are a lucky guy😂 wish I could witness something like this

I was there too as a spotty ten year old. Was incredible to see DVS full given what happened to it.

😂

Not anymore

@@schplok Hmm, he didn't, did he.

@@vecernicek2 sigh....in the great words of Hercules, "DISAPPOINTED"...

No, this is the new javelin model, still legal.

@@PaulVinonaama that's not what hes saying

Don’t you wonder how far his world record throw would have gone with a carbon fiber Nemeth?

That looks like an Apollo to me, I used to have one.

@@apollosun2913 I think Apollo stopped making javelins after the old rules changed or som? I don’t really remember but I’ve only heard abt those javelins never seen one

Yup. 5 Olympic finals!! (He finished 9th in 2004)

+Patient Zero $$$

What's ironic about that?

kimmern999 Because athletes wouldn't eat that. There is no benefit at all. It will only set them back, and athletes don't have their whole life to train for the Olympics(or whatever competition).

Tom Visser Not true at all. There are many top athletes that are more concerned about getting the needed calories than eating what people label "healthy". Mostly long distance runners and athletes competing in weight categories (like weightlifting, boxing or olympic wrestling) need to watch their weight and thus watch their diet carefully. In sports where it is more important than to build muscles/mass or make sure to keep up with the energy consumption, calorie intake is more important than anything. Besides, there are a lot of calory rich McDonalds/Burger King dishes that are not particularly unhealthy.

I doubt any proper athletes would eat burgers and fries instead of healthier calories. There's too much unnecessary crap in junk food.

Me too.

This is old rule that's why..

***** no it s not..same rules

***** no it is not...

***** same rules same javelins go wikipedia for it. these 2 throws are 2. and 3. best throws in the world. He ofc has the WR 98.48 also thrown with modern days javelin.

***** No and this was a Nordic Steel javelin ( New type - 1986 ). I bet he would have thrown over 100m with this new Nordic ( Carbon ) Champion.

Hey just tryna grab ur attention but, someone did it finally johannes vetter of Germany 🇩🇪 97.76 his pb

Didn't know he is the best in the world at javelin throwing also :D

Probably 110 to 115 metres.

Foul seems the most obvious reason. And perhaps he didn't throw the last round, having already won the competition and having set a WR?

It is same, change was in 1986 after 104 m long throw due to safety

@@petrkalus9327 okay thanks bro

Jan, "how far is that Mammoth across the river Kror?" KROR " probably 300'?" JAN, "OK I got this!" he would have certainly had steak every night! 😆

That was with a banned javelin model. At 30 years of age Räty threw his best of 90.60 with the current model, while Zelezny has thrown 98.48 with it.

Probably not since it's a tragic accident and a failure on the organizers part. Tero Pitkämäki didn't get charged with anything when he actually did hit another athlete with a stray javelin. It was on friday 13 july 2007. He hit Salim Sdiri, a French long jumper.

way other gays not throw 95 in this meating?

Cry more kid... Jan zelezny has world record with new javelin.. First break that and then get 4 Olympic gold medals.. Then we'll talk 😂

@@LakpriyaKottahachchi Železny won 3 olympic times gold and 1 silver 1988 Soul -Czechoslovakia komunist republic 1988 korean arbiter antikomunist Železny no win first Gold medal javelin

Ypu are wrong

Bumbero Why do you think that would have helped?

Bumbero he throws to the right side a bit because he´s technique is unique. He twist he´s arm way far back left so he´s not throwing with a straight hand. This gives him a longer pull on the javelin.

+Bumbero I'm guessing that you don't know how the distances are measured.

As opposed to all other anchormen, pronouncing Czech or Finnish names perfectly? ;)

No it's not. It's the same javelin everybody else has used since 1992.

@@kanqquperze actually it’s the same javelin since like 1986 they changed it after 1984 bc of uwe Hohn

However your still correct it’s the same javelin that everyone now uses, it isn’t the old javelin, no steroids, he didn’t cheat, he was just very talented and very very disciplined in this event, he loved it too, he was holding a javelin in his wedding picture lmao 😂

@@Stuka-eo2sz Originally it was changed because of Uwe Hohn true, but there were still loopholes in the rules which helped javelin manufacturers create javelins that fly further than others with the same exact throw until the end of 1991, after which the current javelin has been a standard for everybody. For example Seppo Räty threw a world record 96.96m which such a javelin, but the record was later nullified.

@@kanqquperze yes, that was I believe 1991, they stopped making them right after they were banned, I believe also in 1991, they had grooves on them to supposedly help with aerodynamics or whatever, but I seriously doubt zelezny ever used one maybe once or twice for testing purposes but I think zelezny never did that at all never used a grooved javelin.
