Thomas Röhler Wants to Hit a 100m Javelin Throw! | Trans World Sport 

Can Thomas Röhler break the 100m barrier?

"yeah let's just get a cameraman over there about a foot away from the 100m mark"

They really should change the channel name

Great thrower, and his English is amazing!

I love that there's still one of those goals to reach. 10s in the 100m was beaten long ago. 10m in long jump seems virtually impossible. I really hope to see a 100m throw in my lifetime :)

Before Roger Bannister ran a 4 minute mile, nobody thought it was physically possible. 100m is on the cards for the javelin, for sure. Who will do it, and when, that's the question. Rohler, Hoffman, Vetter, Chopra, Kirk ... and more ... all have the potential. There's a lot of great throwers around these days. Best of luck to you all.

4:39 when hitting the 100m barrier equals your death

The magic in his eyes when he said “the javelin just went” is like the kid dreaming of that same moment still lives. Amazing Doc.

Hey not bad, however Neraj Chopra from India just won the gold at tokyo olympics.

This video is about to get 1 million views in a week.

Someone already did and then they made the first javelin modification in 1986. Then they were approaching 100 m again, so they made the second modification. Sure, someone will finally go over 100 m again which will precipitate a further modification. The 100 m throw shouldn't be looked at as a great victory, but a curse.

It depends on the climate and location too tokyo has a new winner chopra.

100m in javelin is not special. When someone breaks it, they will just redesign the javelin and we'll be back in the 80-90m zone... They have done that before.

I’m sorry I stabbed the cameraman from nearly 100m away, I can’t help that I’m a Gemini

Who is seeing this after Neeraj chopra's unbelievable medal 🥇🥇🥇 in Tokyo Olympics 2020-21...!!🤩🤩🤩😍😍

How many of U NEEEAJ CHOPRA Fans here...After he winning the GOLD in OLYMPICS 2020...

Who is here after neeraj Chopra wins Gold medal 🥇

0:51 pause here.. he is at least 2 meters off the white line when he actually throws the javelin. The distance is measured from that white line, which they are not allowed to pass even after the throw, which is obviously why they throw it so early before the line as they are in motion. In modern times with the technology we have, that we still use this silly line on the ground as a starting point, rather than where people actually throw from, is stupid. From the moment the javelin left his hand, it clearly flew 100 meters and a bit more. Thats literally the definition of a distance thrown is it not? If he ran 20 meters forward while the Javelin was in the air, would the throw be 78 meters? Makes no sense. Sure it's possible for a human to throw 100 meters, he already did.

I really like Röhler. And Vetter and Hofmann too. And I'm Finnish, they are the main rivals!

That strong statement at 7:50 show how every CENTIMETRE counts!

I believe in him more than in any other athlete, he has something special about him 🇩🇪🇩🇪🙌🏻

Am I the only one who was concerned of how close the cameraman was to getting hit

Jan Železný: I can throw a javelin 98 Meters! Caveman: Hold my beer

Who is here after Neeraj Chopra's gold medal 🏅 win 🏆??

A true champion and a gentleman, very classy!!!

Who is here after Neeraj Chopra's Gold?😁

A few years ago i was 3rd best 200 grams ball thrower in germany with 57.50 meters and i also was soooo happy

“I think this poor men was just looking through his telle lens”

It is possible, but you need a perfect throw and also perfect conditions. In my opinion the WR with the current javelin can be set somewhere between 100 and 103 meters. Not sure though if any current thrower can do it. The Germans are better than any thrower after Zelezny's days, but I still think their limits are around 96-98 meters.

Wow, now i know why 95 was added in the javelin throw

We've already thrown 100m, simply with a very slightly different javelin center of gravity. When we throw 100m again, the governing body will change the jav again. Now do the math: is 98m with the new javelin the same as 104m with the old style? You tell me.

Thug life of the camera man

He’s the man of this day and age thats capable of doing it and i really hope he does!

Why was he not in Tokyo 2020?

Thomas Röhler: i wanna break the 100 meter record. Night King: Hold my dragon

Neeraj Chopra the new olympic champion

Before the modern javelin was made official in 1986 , Uwe Hohn of former east Germany threw 105 meters . The American Tom Petranoff threw 100 meters . These two throws occurred in the early 1980s. There were quite a few in the 90 to 100 meter range also. There was no change in weight of Javelin . They changed the weight distribution of the javelin to make for shorter throws . The concern was that stadiums weren't long enough then and fears of Javelins going into the crowd or athletes running around the curve , at the other end . Well it is sort of silly to have running events going on at the same time as the javelin throw . And Stadiums are much longer now .

He has not thrown as far this year but dominated the European championships where he won before the third German 90m thrower, Andreas Hofmann, and the best left-handed thrower ever, Magnus Kirt of Estonia. (Vetter has the world lead of 2018 with a > 92m in early spring but he was not on top of it in the later season and "only" 5th at the EC.)

2021 Tokyo Olympic Gold medal winner Neeraj chopra Indian… Proud to be Indian…. Jai Hind…

Thomas Röhler: I want to beat the 100m barrier! The Night King: Hold my second javelin

If you're windering, he *won* the *European* *champian* *in* *Berlin*

As a baseball player it seems to me they can definitely generate more momentum and power in his throw as well as a better throw angle. But hes a gold medalist and the javelin flies different than a baseball so improbably wrong.

What people don't understand is the wind factor.... If you are throwing along the direction of wind its a added advantage compared to throwing into the wind.

Uwe Hohn 1984 - 104.5meters. They changed the javelin!!!!?

The camera man is a hero...never leave your post!

Who are here after Neeraj chopra's Gold 🏅

Mark this Comment. Neeraj Chopra will break his record.

I am from 2021 and Neeraj Chopra of India is the current Olympic champion...

Even if the javelin landed at the same distance as the camera man it would've missed him. The javelins path was at least a foot to his right, plus he's watching the whole thing, at the peak of the throw he knew that it'd come close and land in front of him.

wow. he's completely passable. should give him a gold medal for that alone.

Before he thinks about the 100 meters mark maybe he should have 95 meters as a goal. When he reaches that threeshold that has only been reached by one human being he can shoot for the stars. Zelezny was a beast, he has the world record (number one) as well as the second,third and fourth.

what is your passion? a: throwing things far

Hope he can come back from injuries and get close to his best again 🙏🏾

Gracias por bajar videos de este Joven tan guapo,Bello Tom Rolher Campeon de la Javalina ,eres muy Hermoso .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

That cameraman has got some stones. He didn’t even flinch.

If Zelezny Couldn't do it, that means no one will... ever. Zelezny was pure perfection.

i never look back too, i delete all my thesis when i graduate from my univ, also i lost all of my thesis hardcopy!

Minute 5:21-5:22 watch the man on Thomas left shoulder 😂

Maharana Pratap used to throw 160meteres with a 20 kg javelin

Neeraj chopra ne ham sabhko ek seekh di h kya seekh?

He would be able to throw 110 m if he used the old javelin

Centimeter by centimeter. Love it.

4:39 is that cameraman not scared of being hit?

Rohler really sounds like a squared away individual, a champion you can admire outside of his skill throwing the javelin. Like others have said, he speaks excellent English, better than most inbreds over here in the States. I wouldn't doubt he speaks more than two languages fluently. I've been to Europe quite a few times on business and it always amazed me how many people spoke multiple languages. English being a mandatory requirement in many schools and countries is a smart strategy, I guess you could say out of the hundreds of languages around the world, English could be considered the most universal of them all. Learning a second language here is optional with Spanish and German seem to be the most popular. I took Latin for one year in HS, I didn't enjoy it.

05:46-05:50 that operator, 😂😂 so close 100m but he's achwments impressive 😎🇱🇹

Correct me if I am wrong but does wind have any affect? I know that the javelin is super aerodynamic because it's super thin but wouldn't even the slightest difference from the wind create inertia?

He want to hit a 100m and I'm here wanting to hit a 50m while my best official one was only 37m

Neeraj chopra tokyo olympics after gold medal 😇

It is possible but the trouble is when the javelin starts going that far, the IAAF modify the javelin so it doesn't land on the track area at the other end of the field, or else they'd have to move the event outside.

He would make a great fast bowler in cricket 🏏

it is cos u guy threw 104m once on old weight so u have to believe its possible and this guy is amazing much respect

Anyone who comments saying that the world record is by Hohn clearly didn't pay attention in this video and might be a bit confused about it beyond the actual history. The world record is 98m because of the modifications of the javelin that's why the video says MODERN time. Although Hohns record is an eternal one it still doesn't count in terms of world records to break or beat so the 100m barrier in modern athletics has still yet to be broken. Aside from that I def think it will be reached and I am positive it will be by a German athlete. Rohler has the best form and precision to do it BUT Johannes Vetter and Andreas Hofmann have the strength to guide the jav farther so this race to 100m throw in the modern era honestly comes down to technique/form over strength/power. My pick is that Rohler and Vetter will both do it and I wont be surprised if it isn't at this upcoming Olympics, It's just a matter of who will do it first.

Wait Neeraj chopra is coming!!

Did anyone misread the title, thinking he had hit 100m? I feel dumb...

You can do it Rohler! Best of luck!!

I hope he can reach 100m. He's fine too.

#Neerajchopra

I specialize in pole vault and my PR is 12ft and I'm a freshman ,but it takes for ever to see progress.

In my school there was a young sports teacher going with spears. Then let the students do it, him standing behind the end zone, meeting a colleague, have a chat and then one student was a bit better than anticipated. Nailed the foot of the teacher to the ground. They shoved him with the spear in the foot into the ambulance...

Does anybody know where to learn Javelin throw? I’d love to learn but idk where to start

2020 Tokyo Olympics javelin throw gold winner Neeraj Chopra with 87.58m

Uh....I believe 100m has already been done for a couple of decades at least. Never understood the point of adjusting the spear if the record is just going to return to where it was in 85.

The release was clean on balance.

He looks like a better scarce 😂

I think it difficult for Thomas to do it, it is necessary to improve his technique and constantly throw over 94 - 95 m.

Now reigning champion is NEERAJ CHOPRA😇🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

That cameraman was very close, risky

How annoyed would you be being the guy that through 104m only for then to change the javelin weight and scrub him out history books

If someone can throw 98m 100m has to be possible

Where is he , in Olympics 2020 TOKIYO Neeraj Chopra has won 🥇 for 87 m

He needs to go to Driveline. I know its baseball oriented but i believe they could figure him out and get him to 100m!

The javelin was not gonna hit the cameraman. It was more then a meter right of him even it flew next to him

I want to see how far he can throw an Atlatl. A Finnish man threw an Atlatl 272 meters so it would be great to see his attempt.

Spoiler alert Jan did land a 105 in his career but he was an inch over the foul line so it is definetly possible it's just that no one has done it yet without fouling

What a Fine throw, fantastic job done, keep it up, keep going......

I think Jan Zelezny threw 100 M, but maybe it was 300 ft. (100 yards) I never made it over 204' 4". (high school back in 1971.)

Who would dislike this?!?

Cameraman shd stand 100 mtr away

When I first tried it I just hit 50m

Neeraj chopra breaks all players wish of gold in tokyo olympic..
