Vesely is mental. He barely got of out qualification and eked out a win only because Tero didn't find the 90+ that's been lurking in his arm ever since he trained with Zelesny.
Barely getting out of the qualificiations doesn't mean shit in the javelin.
Tero has one 90+ in his arm, sure, in a windy stadium without pressure. Like several other javelin throwers do.

Shaq was born in New Jersey, bro. I wonder if you realize how much credibility you lose by running around these forums calling everyone an idiot?

Did you know that EPO doesn't work in Kenyans?

If Vesely was capable of 90 he'd have gotten there by now. Tarabin maybe.
Thorkildsen is done but not Pitkämäki.
Sport physiologist wrote:The physiques of javelin throwers range between taller, "swing" types (with BMI as low as 24 kg/m2 and body height as high as 195-200 cm) and shorter "strength types" (with BMI as high as 31-32 kg/m2 and body height in the 180-190 cm range). This dichotomy is not as pronounced as e.g. in runners or jumpers, but it clearly exists.
Zelezny obviously belongs to the "swing" group, although it is true that his body height is ca. 5 cm shorter than in other similar throwers.
Although Zelezny is also an anomaly in other regards, the fact is that the best performing javelin throwers are consistently ca. 192 cm tall, with body weight around 100 kilos and BMI 27 kg/m2.
But why the hell am I telling these things to you? You just knew it, when you were a mere toddler!
the sum total of this drivel is that there is no body-type for a javelin guy apart from having at least above average height
your wasting my time with this nonsense

you are clueless
colsaerts who i watch a lot is listed at 170 at 6'2
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Colsaertsif you knew anything about him you'd have known that 154 is nonsense
even 170 is poor
he looks 180+ currently in recent tourneys
also tiger broke in under 150 pounds and drove farther than he does now. or maybe the same. go check it
nonsense
tiger has not weighed 150 since he was maybe 16
he doesn't drive much nowdays because of his knee not because he weighs 190 - 200 of pure muscle compared to 160 when he started out as a pro
Mentolin, what pills do you use now? Does your doctor think that your mental condition has improved?

Dude..you need an hour in a hot finnish sauna to clear your thoughts on javelin.
One thing I didn't notice originally is that the Javelin was WON in 2012 in 84.58. (All three medalists 84.xx.) Yego just threw 85.40. Dude's already a gold medal threat.
A Kenyan wins Javelin GOLD in the junior African champs! Which is a first and a surprise one. Alex Kiprotich, only 18, throws 71.43m which is about the distance Julius Yego threw last year to break the national record. Give this guy two years and he will be where Yego currently is. That will be two Kenyans challenging for gold in Rio!

I guess all Kenyans aren't the proverbial 90 pound weaklings. One just missed out on a bronze medal in the javelin. Wow....
