This Will NEVER Happen Again || The WORLD RECORD That Will Stand Forever (G.O.A.T Athlete)

Спорт

One of track and field's greatest athletes also has one of the greatest stories.
Born as the son of javelin-throwing parents, Jan Železný was practically destined to be a star of this challenging athletic discipline. From the Olympic Games, to the World Championships, to the highest marks ever recorded in this event, Železný has forever cemented his legacy as quite possibly the greatest javelin thrower to ever live.
Thanks for watching.

    19:10 You didnt mention it but even though he retired at the age of 40 he finished 3rd at his last WCH in Göteborg and I will add just one comparison - Zelezny threw over 90m 52 times, everyone else in the history combined together threw over 90m 32 times. That's just pure greatness !

    I was a Decathlete training in Ostrava, Czech Republic in 2000-2001 and I remember we couldn’t do our warm up laps around the 400m track when Železny was throwing because apparently he actually overthrew the sector and stuck a Javelin in the surface of the track, well over 100m. It was unreal to watch him practice.

    Zelesny has to be the greatest of all time due to the fact he threw with every different instruments in the sports history. They kept changing the javelin on him, and he still smashed world records and what they thought was humanly possible. This guy is a legitimate goat. I don't think many other athletes have had to deal with the amount of nonsense this guy did. They literally erased his world records by changing the game, and he kept setting new ones with the new instrument.

    really doesn't make any sense to follow the "logic" operating on those that keep hindering this discipline to be going on opposite direction to FUNCTION in goals to achieve, more distance throws. Like would they make shorter the poles for vault jumpers so they can keep off reach to many meters less, or add dust or sand on tracks so the running races "don't go so fast"????? etc It just does not make any sense at all What would be next, make them throw with straws weighting nothing in the air? WHO are these people making such changes? What parameters of "logic" or off Logic do they operate under? Fair is fair, but they seem to have placed a butt cheek on the balance to tilt that Sport, hindering it.

Zheleznoye (neutral). This dude was unbelievable, regardless. I hate how they "disqualified" his early records because the "governing body" hadn't "approved" the implement being thrown. What a pile of bull💩. Sanctioned events, sanctioned rules, sanctioned everything. Yet as soon as the guy shatters the world record, they gasp and unexpectedly realize they handed him an "unsanctioned" and "unverified" jav. These judging tůrds should be laid out on the ground at 90-meter mark next time. Perhaps they'll sanction everything pertaining to javelin throw more thoroughly, including the javelin 😹

    But ultimately if you put the sport itself in perspective (as in how many people actually try to compete professionally) say vrs running or swimming where far more people participate in it. I mean it not easy to practice the sport safety or properly like having a marked field in a stadium you can practice in. It’s a very impressive record and story but for me as less people are involved in the sport the odds are far higher that you could rise above the competition (as there is less of it) than say running/sprinting. So sprinting for me is still No.1 and the most famous all time greats are still those in sprinting or long distance running.

So he's safely behind the line just in case but also sacrifices his total distance.

We don't benefit from that. Only he does. So people complaining about that is only fair. Actions have consequences.

    The issue is just that they only have so much space. No matter what you do there's always going to be people down range unless there's just a gap in the stadium and nobody builds a stadium like that for major events. They also can't just rely on a net like football does because they need to be able to measure the distance to where it lands. So they're stuck having to have a field contained by bystanders on all sides that just becomes unmanageable if they need like 150m of space.

    reminds me of Maldini, Ac Milans most loyal player. He was in italian squad for long too, he was able to play both left and right side, defense and midfield, since Milan had two great left wingers, he usually was on the right, but sometimes they swapped sides too. with that strategy, the two wingers went up, 4 midfielders on center in diamond shape, no wingers, the righ midfielder Gatusso went back and Pirlo went up a bit instead, controlling pace on center. So basically from a 4-4-2 switched into a 2-1-5-2. The attack phase was high tempo switch on sides and long crosses, so the wings needed huge stamina and speed for that, and then go back to defense. Maldini at 40 was still outplaying real madids players, lasting the whole game while they had to swap out one of the defenders because couldn't keep up.

    I guess everyone before the change due to Hohns 104 m is not in the list. It is diiffcult to compar ethe two spears and that is what may be should have done. Analyse the difference and come to a scientific estimation of what the 104,52 m of Hohn woul dhave meant. As it is, no one threw a spear further than Hohn. I was very young when Hohn threw it but it never left my mind. 104+ metres....Zelezny, Bubka and some I must have forgotten are so good because they dominated the sport for so long. So people can do better these days o rin the future but it will be very difficult to keep up over more than a decade like these guys did.

    ​@@Serenoj69the spear wasn't redesigned because of Hohn, it was redesigned to plant firmer into the ground, fly shorter and in more of an arc with it's center of gravity shifted, it was designed to prevent accidents. It is very simple to compare Hohn and Zelezny, you look at how much further they threw compared to all other athletes competing against them, in this regard, there is no comparisson. Vetter might change that some day. But as it stands, nobody will ever break Hohn's record, as it had been retired and is unchanging, it is an eternal record.

    Jan was and is my hero since I was in the elementary school. I have seen TV live that he broke the WR again and again in the same competition. He can keep constant performance to keep each throw over 90m. He even can keep the same performance after IAA change the Javelin. After 30yrs still unbeatable record. Unfortunately it‘s not popular in where I am from. So far I have only seen few athletes from Asia.

    Or he could have had it deemed as another foul. That's why he stopped well short of the line. That's why the best in all sports where lines are involved, stop well before the line. It's not about getting to the line, but to utilize the body to the max.

    When I thrrew javelin in high school in the '70s, you had to throw properly to make the tip stick, or at least break the surface, for the throw to be legal. Because of contraversies over "flat landings" and the distances being achieved, the javelin was redisigned in the '80s with a modified centre of gravity and surface area to promote sticking on landing, so now you can concentrate more on the strength of the throw rather than the correct style to get the tip to land first. The redisgn was also to shorten distances because of the tip pointing down after the javelin reached the top of the arc, rather than "floating" on the descent.

    Javelin throwing requires fast arm movement and powerful thrust from legs to provide good momentum. To achieve maximum flight the javelin needs to fly at an angle of 40-50 degrees, so power still applies, it’s just how steep you throw it.

    That's an understatement. Both technique and explosive power must be on equal footing. One could not do without the other - and that applies to just about any form of any sport where these two elements must be present. You don't have to be overly muscular to have tremendous strength. In fact, if you look at his body and bodies, let's say, sprinters or basketball players, their overall combined strength comes from their muscular structure where muscles and ligaments are long and dense. Such muscle structure provides expansive rubber spring like qualities where the compression and sudden release of that compressed energy is much higher than with heavier and more bulky athletes where such features actually do not provide the energy needed for the maneuver that's being executed. Jan Zelezny was, beside his almost perfect technique, also very strong and he was an expert in anatomy and studying his own structural advantages and shortfalls. Anyone who aspires to be the best athlete, must also know all the secrets of his trade better than his Coaches. Those who rely too much on their Coaches usually do not achieve longstanding greatness because they e never been able to scrutinize and analyze themselves harder than their trainers. Zelezny knows all the nuances of his trade far better than anyone else. That's why he is also a very successful a Coach because he can see inside his athletes heads and bodies.

    His technique really is flawless. He builds up speed first, then his legs move wider storing more potential energy. Then right at the release, all the energy he built up is transferred to his arm and you can actually see his entire lower body go completely still for a split second before the recoil of the throw causes him to jump once more to the line. He realizes this which is why he throws so short of the line, hes a true master of the sport!
