Should the comment of, for instance: Michigan High School track does not include the javelin. Should this really be included? Its uneccesary and cluttersome. I'm editing it out for those reasons. Clavette 21:51, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. Zzorse 00:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Terry Bradshaw held the U.S. High School boys javelin record for years. He then went on to win 4 Super Bowl titles in the National Football League. In my opinion he deserves to be included among the list of famous male javelin throwers. I don't know why somebody removed his name.

There seems to be a hack on the men's famous throwers list. I never knew that was a New-Zealand name. I won't go further. I would edit it, but I don't know the real name. 81.165.165.66 19:52, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The units of measurement for the Javelin throws in the olympics is not shown

Vadims Vasiļevskis

I see two guys have registered that Vadims Vasiļevskis has thrown 90.43 in Riga yesterday. According to IAAFs pages (and others), he "just" threw 88.12. Check: [1]. I would like to see your sources. Grindstein 18:46, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, he threw 90.43 in Riga, not Dessau, see this link - [2]. And also a site from Latvia - [3], [4] ReinisFMF 08:20, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

no javelin in HS?

Hi guys, its my understanding that javelin is banned in US high schools because of the inherant danger of accidentally tripping onto a javelin or being speared. Is this true? Can there be some mention of deaths, injuries, or banning in this article? Thanks, George

Javelin is not banned nationwide in U.S. high schools. But it is uncommon ("This leaves out such events as multi events, javelin, weight throw, shuttle relays, and race walk, which are not widely contested throughout the US." - DyeState Rankings) It is apparently banned in some some states, ("A student shall participate in no more than four Federation-listed events only, but not javelin in any form." MHSAA Coaches Guidebook [5]) Rmhermen (talk) 15:43, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Safety

I just axed a mention of the recent jevelin accident in Rome. I don't think we want to catalog accidents here. On the other hand it might be useful to have a section of safety. In that context may these accidents are relevant? This would tie in with the comment above re: Javelin no being thrown in US schools (is this true?) due to safety issues. David D.

Notable javelin throwers

I think the men's list is too long, maybe the all time top ten should be removed, as they are already mentioned. Thatlot!! 18:40, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Erausqui style

Would be interesting to introduce this method, the record that were made this way and its consequent IAAF disapproval. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.103.13.72 (talk) 11:41, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Javelin length

Before discussing the minutiae of adjusting centre of balance, shouldn't the broader picture, such as the actual length of the javelin, be mentioned? Rhialto (talk) 07:25, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Angle of Release

"But still the angle of release is under debate . Athletes prefer btw. 30 - 60 degrees but still scientist say 45 is the best ."

I think until this is quoted, it should be removed. If scientists think it, then they recorded that somewhere, or else they are not very good scientists! Memerson3996 (talk) 17:55, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Spanish Style

In the late 50s in Spain it developed a style of release ("Spanish style" or "Basque style" or "Eurasquin style") that was quickly banned. Major releases were achieved with this style

Specifically, Miguel de la Quadra-Salcedo managed to 112.30 m. There is no reference to that unofficial style or world record. JavierBlancoC (talk) 10:55, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any list or information on best throws and what is the time period it was used in official competitions (at least year when it was banned)? 213.149.61.252 (talk) 15:48, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Old models

If I am not mistaken there've been 3 models of javelin for men: old, serrated tail and new model. Serrated tail was used in period 1986-91.
Women had 2 models: old until 1998, and new.

In the article there is section "Nemeth model (90-91)" which includes women (as a subsection) but years don't match. It also doesn't match with men's model/years. It should be corrected and/or note (explanation) given. 213.149.61.252 (talk) 15:44, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
