The Javelin Throw is a track and field event where athletes throw a spear-like object called a javelin as far as possible. Competitors use a specific technique to gain speed and momentum before releasing the javelin, which must land within a designated sector. The event is part of the Olympic Games and is governed by rules set by World Athletics. Javelins are typically made of metal or fiberglass and vary in weight depending on the category of the athlete. For men, the javelin weighs 800 grams, while for women, it weighs 600 grams. The event requires a combination of strength, technique, and precision to achieve maximum distance.
