TIL that the longest javelin throw was 99.52 meters using a now illegal technique that was considered "out of control". No one has broken this record with modern javelin rules.

You were also supposed to be able to hit your target.

I’m not picky, any target is fine. Boar, pheasant, peasant, doesn’t matter.

Yeah… but it might have been a good tactic for the really shitty javelin-throwers, so they could make up in range what they lacked in accuracy.
