WHY NOW? BECAUSE JAVELIN IS THE ONLY SPORT WHERE WE TRY TO HOLD DOWN THE ATHLETES...AND JAN ZELEZNI IS THE EXAMPLE THAT IT DOESN'T WORK. When the goal is to make everything possible to help athletes to do great performances ( make tracks faster, etc..)... javelin is the only discipline where It's the exact opposite: All is made to slow down throwers adding rules after rules. The result of this adversity is that...Athletes keep getting better.
We understand the necessity to protect everybody "BUT " a solution which does not allow athletes to reach their full potential IS NOT JUST A BAD ONE. It'S A NONSENSE !

“ The more you imagine rules to slow me down, the harder i'll throw...and sooner or later you'll have to change them because your imagination have limits...my will does not ”
LEGEND 2
"RULES!? There's no way few small words written by few small men can hold down a God...and that's how i feel when i run through the wind, with the thunder rumbling, and the javelin in my hand ."
