You’re a nice man

Near the Olympic record as well! Over 90m, bravo!

no he's not chopra is

@@karthikkrishna1439 This is from 4 YEARS AGO ASS WIPE

@@Chattahoochee_Chief Not anymore

@@karthikkrishna1439inform yourself before saying stuff like that, an olympic champion will always be an olympic champion. You Indians always talk so great of Chopra and seemingly don't even know about the sport nor the olympics. Not every single javelin post is about Neeraj Chopra, he has nothing to do with this post so just leave it out of here. He hasn't even thrown 90m yet, which Max Dehning at 19 years old did. You have over a billion residents and just one olympic champion, rubbing it under everyone's nose like your a sports nation is pathetic

Hey, ich hoffe Dein Wettbewerb im Oktober war super👍. Ich habe riesigen Respekt vor Dir! Hut ab und weiterhin viel Spaß beim Werfen. Wie weit bist Du gekommen? Alles beste Josef

@@josefkoller7087Hallo Josef, danke. Es war mein erster Leichtathletikwettkampf seit meinem 15. Lebensjahr. Bin jetzt 71. Im Speerwerfen war ich nicht gut. Sie ermöglichen ein sehr leichtes Speerwurfverhalten (500 Gramm), und die Spitze reichte nicht herunter, um in der Erde zu stecken - ich hatte also keinen guten Wurf. Ich hätte heimlich ein paar Nickelmünzen auf die Speerspitze kleben sollen. Allerdings durfte ich mit dem kanadischen Team (ich bin ein Yankee) an einem Staffellauf teilnehmen, und wir bekamen Bronze. Es gab eine 99-jährige Frau aus Oregon, die 1500 Meter ununterbrochen schwamm, um Gold zu holen!

that's awesome man, i', still a young guy but it's awesome seeing people of all ages still involved with athletics. hope the meet went well!

Suomi!!!!!!!

Well in Finland javelin is the national sport basically :P Germans do like all sports very well.

+SanteeNL Ger = Spear, Germany = land of the spears men!

That could be true, in Finland people respect all javelin throwers.

All the BIGGEST throws have been from the Germans, first Uwe Hohn throws 104.80m, because of this throw the javelins are changed, then Jan Zelezny Czech republic 98.48m, then Vetter, with his huge 97m, I reckon he will not only hit the 100m I'm predicting 101.34m I've been constantly dreaming this, I don't know why, but I just have this feeling VETTER will not just break the record , BUT THE FIRST MAN OVER 100M with current javelin.

Thanks Attri! Glad to hear you found it useful

+dylkim Thanks! Comments like yours make it all the more worthwhile!

dylkim wow

Javelin is distance, not accuracy

The target is the distance, maybe

Exactly !!!

I just use my dog

😂😂

Yeah it’s sad it’s not as popular in the US as other countries

1 mil now

THERES nothing in athletics more MAJESTIC when u see the javelin soaring thru the air and hearing the audiences gasps of WOOW, OMG, WHOA ETC

@@thehawkman8017 especially if it’s a 90+m throw

Let us know if it helps, Markus!

World Sport Thought I’d let you know, I have reached a pb of 64.98m earlier this year. This video definitely helped!

Amina Surname Yes same

+theis steensen We've got a lot more Olympic sports to get through but we'll see what we can do!

+World Sport I agree this is the most helpful video I've seen if you could, please please please make another

Rohler throws 90m he is 🐐

Thanks for watching!

im a little late but goodluck, tell me if you made it btw I would appreciate to know :)

@@Stuka-eo2sz unfortunately I didn't quite make it, at our district meet I missed qualifying by a few feet. This year's season is about to start soon though, and I'm super excited to start again, I think I could easily make it this year.

@@hannahskinner9975 nice, I’m doing the javelin this year and hoping to make it to my state meet, very confident ( I’m a freshman ) goodluck btw

@@Stuka-eo2sz That's awesome! good luck to you too, javelin is by far my favorite track event

@@hannahskinner9975 it’s my favourite too, it’s a neat event isn’t it?

Georgia Stringer how did u do

+Maxi doucette Thanks! We've got a whole series of Road to Rio features you might like as well! bit.ly/1q5SEN1

+World Sport this really helped

I don't even know how I came second in my age group to get sent to this comp, I literally got 2 fouls 😭😭

FULANODETAL hahaha me too!

Elbow injuries are common in javelin throwing, and it's mostly due to technical faults, in which the muscles aren't used correctly, therefore forcing them, which could lead to potential injuries

+Thomas Röhler - Javelin Cool Video Thomas!

+Thomas Röhler - Javelin Thanks for filming with us Thomas!

I agree mate and thats coming from Einstein series 2.0.

Atma youre right but many people reccomend lower than that, 35ish degrees as the javelin will lift in the air and the way the back muscles are angled is very conducive to a lower angled yet still high throw, just think of pushing a car, you want to engage your back to the fullest you can not to mention your throw will get a nice boost from your run up if your legs are working from that sort of angle

Atma also a human is a human and its difficult to achieve a perfect anything, when you are in the throw the angle at which your release point is positioned will rapidly increase in a short time so beginning the throw in a slightly angle will allow you to naturally rise towards that 44.99999 degree angle 😊

Thanks for the info! Yes, I do understand what you mean... it would be difficult to get a specific angle consistently, even with practice. Even if it's in muscle memory, nerves still play a vital role in competitions along with adrenaline, mental state, the works.

In general keep this in mind: head wind 37 degrees, normal wind 40ish degrees, tailwind 42ish degrees. A javelin is no ball, therefore 45 degrees is not optimal. With headwind you generally throw a little bit lower since the javelin will general more lift this way and glide longer. With back wind you can put your javelin "on top" of the wind by throwing it a tiny bit higher. 40 degrees is the generally advised angle I believe.

nope haha

Haha yep, maybe the stadium surface was not for him. Happy for my countryman Ruuskanen though. I hope they'll have a tight match in the olympics.

We thought Rohler was going to smash it. It does set up what should be a brilliant competition in Rio!

He had to deal with injuries prior to the competition, so he wasn't as fit as he should've been. But the Olympics totally made up for that!

the reason its not thrown forward is because you are using it to force yourself into your left foot or block. This causes your body to slingshot over your block, your penultimate step foot (right foot int this case) cant go forward due to it still being behind.

oh ok thanks for the explanation!

fadil mohammed for begineers is better to just do the crosses

i think you should put more power and aim at the sky

Either, you’re dropping your elbow, or you’re not throwing it far enough for the tip to turn towards the ground

No offense to the other replies but you should try flicking your fingers when you throw worked amazing for me

@@thtboitrue414 that’s a good tip for sure
