After the boom of Javelin Throw in India after Tokyo Olympics, I dove deep into all the major tournaments in the past and watched almost everything available on KZbin. The legacy that Germany has established in this throwing event is amazing. Vetter, Weber, Hofmann and You. I have always loved your style and consistency the best

[@amritabhattacharjee7710]

After Neeraj Chopra's Olympic Gold many Indian youngsters have found this as the best channel to learn how to throw the Javelin ! Thanks and regards ...from India.

[@prajitshedge948]

Sir I wanna ask you that is distance rated javelin matters in throwing distance like my throw goes 50m on on training javelin which has centre of gravity very much to tip of javelin and if I throw on 80m distance rated did it increase or remain same

I’m a 15 year old thrower from Canada and experience a lot of elbow pain when I throw (don’t know why) . Any tips? By the way love your videos ❤️❤️

[@turkukoulu5381]

Tennis elbow?

[@prycenewland9455]

@@turkukoulu5381 what is that?

[@devonbustard1623]

Might be throwing like a ball rather than getting your elbow above your ear, see one of his other videos on here where he discusses it

[@wescraven2606]

Around 4:55, when you extend your left foot forward, why are you reaching it into the air about 30 cm/12 in, instead of having it close to the ground? It seems like you would lose speed. Is it because when the left foot strikes down, you can grab the ground and accelerate forward more aggressively? Or is it more of a positional feeling? Also, do you recommend doing cross overs over objects or would there be too much up and down motion? Do you have an opinion on doing crossovers up and down hills? Thank you for you videos. In a future video, it may help some people if you point out athletes doing certain movements wrong as well. I wanted to tell you that I've been enjoying your series so far.

[@thomasroehler_]

Hey! Thanks for the detailed feedback and input. Reaching up is definitely not a goal or idea but it‘s a follow of grabbing the ground and reaching forward trying to increase step length. We do talk about individual optimum, some will need to reach a bit higher, some will have the best feeling closer to ground - all that matters is that any reaching is not affecting upper body position and rhythm. We have been discussing the „common mistake“ idea for some videos bit are still not sure wether it‘s a good or bad idea as for training progress we always work with good examples….

What’s the different between you and Vetter at crossover

[@thomasroehler_]

On advanced level styles vary quite a bit, mostly crossing distance, step length and penultimate step do vary most
