Jan Železný set the world record in the javelin of 98.48m on May 25, 1996 in Germany.
In thirty years, the closest anyone has been to breaking it was @jojo_javelin's 97.76m effort in 2020.
An absolute legendary record from a legend of a man.
To another thirty years 🥂

#HappyMothersDay! Puma moms spend ~80% of their lives caring for their young. Cubs stay with mom for 1-2 years. Mom will take them to kill sites at around 2 months of age and wean them at about 3 months.

Squad Goals 😤
Thrower's salute to @CoachMcGhghy and his crew at Rochester HS 🫡
Five boys > 50' on the same team is diabolical. The scary thing?...four of them are underclassmen!

May 8th is a big day for throws history🗓️
The 60 & 70-foot barriers were both broken on May 8 by legends Parry O'Brien and Randy Matson.
Parry broke 60' in the LA Memorial Coliseum and Randy broke 70' in Kyle Field at Texas A&M.
Thanks @nationalthrows for pointing this out
