- Jan Zelezny broke the javelin world record on 06/04/1993 with a distance of 95.54m in South Africa. Off the back of his recent world title victory, Zelezny competed in Sheffield and in ideal conditions he threw just short of the record in round 2 but exceeded it by 12cm in round 3. At the time of posting this video these two throws are the second and third longest in history behind his 98.48m set in 1996.

Incredible talent, perfect technique, his run up does not slow at all into the throw. Unbeatable. So many muscled up throwers these days. Lots of big talk and predictions. So many with one or two or a few big throws and then they fade away. Zelezny is legend.
Can't imagine this these days, 2 throws over 95m after each other? Really awesome!
Vetter?
@@jajaL926 this was posted 9 years ago, vetter didn’t even compete 9 yrs ago so yea
Because that time javelin was in different shape which could be maximum thrown above 100-105 m but now it's shape and weight is changed and centre of gravity of jevlin is shifted clooser to the tip and not in centre this is done for the safety of players as many events are being played side by side like long jump shutout hammer throw discuss throw etc in a same foeld
@@jasmeetsingh5948 uhhh the javelins shape was never different, it’s center of gravity was changed, and the tail was thickened. That was in 1984, this comp was in 1993
Zelezny looks quite like a ordninary man, not as muscular as many athletes but his speed and technique are oustanding!
There was a huge amount of strength in that body though.
Very flexible, and he didn't slow down much while reaching back to throw. It was like he was triple jumping sideways.
I'm as tall as him, but I lack something, since I can only lift 60kg in bench and I throw around 40m max. I can't imagine how can anybody throw even 50m, I cannot do that, ever
Muscles are nothing! This is just a looks
Thinks bro
I was at this meet and honestly we were worried about the distance runners’ safety.. Increidble athlete..
Jan was amazing !!!
I've seen him throw 97 measured and 99-100 on practice throw wich he stepped over a bit. :D At Kuortane Finland, in the 90's
Myths.....
“I have seen Seppo snatch 200 kg, benchpress 450 kg and throw 80 m standing in the javelin throw in Lanzarote in 1991-1992 HUNG OVER”
I swear I was there. Check with Seppo where he went to training camps those years.
Absolutely unbelievably outstanding
I was there! I witnessed this and also got him to sign my Maxx cards tshirt (I was a competition winner and got me meet the stars!).
What a day!

ScousePhotographer Wow you Sir, are a lucky guy😂 wish I could witness something like this
I was there too as a spotty ten year old. Was incredible to see DVS full given what happened to it.
Superb technique and a modest handshake at 1:58. Pure class.
I love his reaction. It was like 'Yep, that's what I was trying to do". What a cool dude.
that arm speed is incredible
I beat him once - in Euro Juniors in '85 - he was quick and skinny - too quick for his technique at the time - in '87 he set the 1st of his WR's - now at 98m which I don't think will be broken in my lifetime or his - quite simply the greatest T&F athlete of all time.
Oh my,Sir!
Love watching Zelezny throw! Was lucky enough to see him compete at the 2001 worlds and throw a 92.8m for the gold, while Aki Parviainen threw a 91.31m
Stadium designers: How large should we make this field?
Jan Zelezny: Yes
I LOVE HIS RUNNUP, AND HOW HARD AND FAST HE SMASHES THE JAVELIN FROM HIS HAND!!! HAKAN
the 5 best throws of all time are all his
Not anymore
@@charlieevansthrows5274 Johannes will break the world record in this next olympics
@@schplok Hmm, he didn't, did he.
@@vecernicek2 sigh....in the great words of Hercules, "DISAPPOINTED"...
How calm and composed man he is, even after breaking then world record...
unreal, looking at his size and body shape you would not think he would be a good thrower, but he is so explosive and has excellent technique
a true legend
He changes his runup in the second throw, watch the follow through compared to the first. Imagine having just thrown 95m and missed the WR by centimetres. He adapted an extra 30 cm out of his runup and still threw further! Javelin genius was Jan.
R.I.P Don Valley Stadium
Fantastic!! Perfection
These throws are insanely good. Steve Backley was so unlucky to be peaking around the same time as Zelezny!
The Legend.
No modern carbon fibre javelin either .. just a good old Sanvik Champion, not to mention his world record 98.48 done with an OTE (red/silver) jav .. quite incredible!
No, this is the new javelin model, still legal.
@@PaulVinonaama that's not what hes saying
Don’t you wonder how far his world record throw would have gone with a carbon fiber Nemeth?
That looks like an Apollo to me, I used to have one.
@@apollosun2913 I think Apollo stopped making javelins after the old rules changed or som? I don’t really remember but I’ve only heard abt those javelins never seen one
Even in slowmotion his arm speed is like a flash⚡!!!
What a technic !
Legend
Perfection. Jan the Great.
El mejor lanzador de jabalina de todos los tiempos!
Steve Backley looks at that and says' ok then' !!!!
he is one and only. simpley the best
Zelezny: 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Judges: Oh dude, you just missed the world record! So close!
Zelezny: Hold my beer.
What a legend. I did not realize this until recently but he very nearly won 4 Olympic titles in a row. He won in ‘92, ‘96 and ‘00 and was just 16 centimeters from gold in ‘88. Wow.
Yup. 5 Olympic finals!!
(He finished 9th in 2004)
Machine!
our beautiful man and excellant athlet))
I was there. GOAT
Maybe javelin is not as populair amongst great audiences, but does that make them better sporters? Because in that case the greatest sporters would be all football players since they get the most attention in the world...
Bolt has shown dominance over a couple of years and speeds people could never imagine, but Zelezny shown distances far greater than any big javelin thrower has ever achieved (with the modern javelin at least). I think it's really hard to compare!
I like how a very good athlete is wearing a McDonald's logo. The irony
+Patient Zero $$$
What's ironic about that?
kimmern999 Because athletes wouldn't eat that. There is no benefit at all. It will only set them back, and athletes don't have their whole life to train for the Olympics(or whatever competition).
Tom Visser Not true at all. There are many top athletes that are more concerned about getting the needed calories than eating what people label "healthy". Mostly long distance runners and athletes competing in weight categories (like weightlifting, boxing or olympic wrestling) need to watch their weight and thus watch their diet carefully. In sports where it is more important than to build muscles/mass or make sure to keep up with the energy consumption, calorie intake is more important than anything. Besides, there are a lot of calory rich McDonalds/Burger King dishes that are not particularly unhealthy.
I doubt any proper athletes would eat burgers and fries instead of healthier calories. There's too much unnecessary crap in junk food.
awesome!!!
great result! fantastic people)
Fenomen
even in slow motion, his throw speed is too high
Most sports person earlier tried to be strong from inside instead of looking stronger from out😂
wow you cant even see his arm in slow motion
Nice one, Messi!
Didn't know he is the best in the world at javelin throwing also :D
Wow
this makes todays throwers look just silly
This is old rule that's why..
***** no it s not..same rules
***** no it is not...
***** same rules same javelins go wikipedia for it. these 2 throws are 2. and 3. best throws in the world. He ofc has the WR 98.48 also thrown with modern days javelin.
***** No and this was a Nordic Steel javelin ( New type - 1986 ).
I bet he would have thrown over 100m with this new Nordic ( Carbon ) Champion.
Superman!
No wonder he threw it so far, its South Africa. The altitude would help a ton.
You Created world record.
Jan: oh, not bad
pretty calm dude, throws wc and no celebration.. :d
I wonder how far Zelezny's throws would've gone with the older spec javelin. Safe to say that change was needed considering even the new one threatened Jim Rosenthal's position and he'd throw 3m further than this...
Probably 110 to 115 metres.
he is class apart
Yes, hence the "(in comparison)".......-.- 2nd best javelin thrower ever (with the latest model) is roughly 5.5% worse than the best javelin thrower of all time. Let's say the same difference in performance would occur on the 100m. Usain Bolt is the fastest man ever and runs it in 9.58s. If he was as dominant as Zelezny then the 2nd fastest man ever over 100m would only do 10.11s... Puts stuff in to perspective doesn't it? (rough estimates sorry internet)
Lucky number 7
good arm
couldn't agree more. Having thork take steroids is the only thing that even has a chance of coming close to
ทําไมเน็ตไม่ลดสปีดถึงสดุดไหนคุณบอกไม่ลดสปีด
Does anyone know if this was a competition with 4 or 6 rounds? I know Zelezny threw 87.06, 95.34, 95.66, and 89.02 in this competition. But I don't know about the 2 other throws (if there were any) Were they foul? Anyone who's got any info on this?
Foul seems the most obvious reason.
And perhaps he didn't throw the last round, having already won the competition and having set a WR?
In his time , is the weight of javelin is same as it is now ?
It is same, change was in 1986 after 104 m long throw due to safety
@@petrkalus9327 okay thanks bro
Honestly, how does he do that? No one's hit 95 in quite some time, let alone 98.
Hey just tryna grab ur attention but, someone did it finally johannes vetter of Germany 🇩🇪 97.76 his pb
haha 0:24 sec frustrated Steve Backley :D

Rocket launcher? It matches well. I would not like to be mammoth hunted by Železný with a spear :-D
Jan, "how far is that Mammoth across the river Kror?"
KROR " probably 300'?"
JAN, "OK I got this!"
he would have certainly had steak every night! 😆
If he would've thrown the javelin straight, not across the sector, it would have been well over 100m
Ypu are wrong
Bumbero Why do you think that would have helped?
Bumbero he throws to the right side a bit because he´s technique is unique. He twist he´s arm way far back left so he´s not throwing with a straight hand. This gives him a longer pull on the javelin.
+Bumbero I'm guessing that you don't know how the distances are measured.
I wish I could do this. All Glory to Jesus Christ.
Yeah, but you can't say that it's easier to beat Usain Bolt then to beat Jan Zelezny. I also think it's more likely the world record of Bolt will be broken than the WR of Zelezny, since people like Gay has run pretty close to the WR, while in javelin throw noone came within 5m of the WR ever
Vetter should take a look at this and ask himself if its worth it to destroy his legs with all that bodyweight.
Its all depends on wind
way other gays not throw 95 in this meating?
Seppo räty 96.96
That was with a banned javelin model. At 30 years of age Räty threw his best of 90.60 with the current model, while Zelezny has thrown 98.48 with it.
How can you say that, because more people run the 100m in general? So football has the highest level of competition in the world? I'm not sure about that
Great man....but he hate Seppo Räty
not in those days
borec
hahaha same here, mines 153 feet which is like 46 meters or something.
its GBR.
No way man, I'm Greek and I'm telling you, Zelezny is probably in the top 10 of athletes ever, across all sports. Bolt is not and I agree with the other guy here, Johan Blake's ridiculous progress makes Bolt look guilty by association, sorry.
Wouldn't say 93 meters pathehic if you can win olympics with a throw under 85
WARNING: Do not throw like Jan if you are new to javelin (or normal). He is a freak of nature and every other person to try and throw like him has fucked up their shoulder beyond belief.
No one's ever hit 95 with this model, except Zelezny. 2nd longest throw that was not Zelezny was a pathetic (in comparison) 93 meters by Parviainen.
its funny ud bring up usain in jan's video...coz no one has ever put jan's name in a usain video -.- every kid is born wanting to run fast only the greatest wins an olympic medal twice in the most prestigious of events. the fact ud mention his name in a javelin video is testament enough of his greatness. Jan however...is a monster.. this is ridiculous.
Stadium is too short ...
It's all mechanics, baby, thats why Mike Weir can drive a golf ball 100 yards longer than Arnold Schwartzenegger. Mechanics. Dig it.
Would he be charged with murder if he hit an official on the other side?
Probably not since it's a tragic accident and a failure on the organizers part. Tero Pitkämäki didn't get charged with anything when he actually did hit another athlete with a stray javelin. It was on friday 13 july 2007. He hit Salim Sdiri, a French long jumper.
Fucking.Ridiculous.
really?
lol @ mcdonald's
messi is it you ?
no
its kinda ironic.. Mc donalds and sport don't really mix
hmm not happy with 95,34m lool!
nope, 100 m is wayyyy more competitive, not much people in the world train javelin
How unprofessional anchorman. He pronounces totally wrong Jan's name.
As opposed to all other anchormen, pronouncing Czech or Finnish names perfectly? ;)
what a boring commentator, acts like this is normal....
illegal javelin. cheating
No it's not. It's the same javelin everybody else has used since 1992.
@@kanqquperze actually it’s the same javelin since like 1986 they changed it after 1984 bc of uwe Hohn
However your still correct it’s the same javelin that everyone now uses, it isn’t the old javelin, no steroids, he didn’t cheat, he was just very talented and very very disciplined in this event, he loved it too, he was holding a javelin in his wedding picture lmao 😂
@@Stuka-eo2sz Originally it was changed because of Uwe Hohn true, but there were still loopholes in the rules which helped javelin manufacturers create javelins that fly further than others with the same exact throw until the end of 1991, after which the current javelin has been a standard for everybody. For example Seppo Räty threw a world record 96.96m which such a javelin, but the record was later nullified.
@@kanqquperze yes, that was I believe 1991, they stopped making them right after they were banned, I believe also in 1991, they had grooves on them to supposedly help with aerodynamics or whatever, but I seriously doubt zelezny ever used one maybe once or twice for testing purposes but I think zelezny never did that at all never used a grooved javelin.
