History of Javelin
Javelin is believed to have been introduced during the ancient Olympics games as part of the pentathlon in 7o8 BC.
It was further divided into two competitions where one winner would be determined by the distance covered by the spear and the other for accuracy in hitting targets. The art of throwing javelin-like poles re-emerged in Germany and Sweden in the 1870s.
It was in Sweden that these poles were remodeled to look somewhat like the modern-day javelin. Soon after in the sports spreading to other countries and rules began to evolve. Initially, Javelins were thrown without a run-up and in the 1890s limited run-ups were introduced. It has been a segment of the current day Olympic Games program since 1908 for men and 1932 for women.
