Javelin throw

The javelin throw is an athletic event where a competitor aims to throw a spear-like object called a javelin as far as possible. Athletes run within a designated area to gain momentum, then release the javelin at an optimal angle to maximize distance. Proper technique involves a combination of speed, strength, and precise timing to achieve maximum launch speed and direction. The event requires coordination, core stability, and controlled arm and body movements to ensure the javelin stays on a safe trajectory and lands within the designated sector for the throw to be valid.
