How he has managed this I don't know. The hammer is eminently possible because it's a fucking mental event. The discus is slightly less possible as there's a greater deal of control. But the javelin? It's a fucking straight line spear, very rarely if ever out of a thin sliver of infield and almost guaranteed to be close to the 90 degree line. It also tends to be in the air that little bit longer I fancy

Gust of wind?
75 year old reflexes not what they were?
How long before it turns up on the internet?

Tone, I once thought a helicopter was trying to land on me (it was after a fashion).

You know when something like that is going on. What was he going to measure if there wasn't a javelin out there?
