The Technique That Broke Track and Field 

Lame, they should’ve had it where the spectators could try to catch the javelin like mlb with balls

You should maybe mention that it was banned because it was extremily dangerous, some saying that only 10% of throws landed in the sector.

Dick Held is a great name

as a discus thrower that cant even throw the javelin half as far id love to try this technique with it too see what i could do

I was watching this thinking like 'damn what happens if the athlete fucks up, does one of the bystanders just get stabbed and died'. I think we're on the good timeline here

14-16 lbs a meat of day are some rookie numbers

Pentti Saarikoski was a discus/hammer thrower. Explains why he could throw so far with this style.
