I remember seeing thorkildsen throw back in 2007 at a diamond league in the uk. It was 86m and it looked easy. Technically, he was one of the best of his time. Him and pikamaki were a cut above the rest. I remember seeing that javelin fly and thinking how it was even possible that anyone could throw anything that far. Incredible!
It's so hard to throw javelin compared to shot put and discus. Hats off to those who can.
