Born as the son of javelin-throwing parents, Jan Železný was practically destined to be a star of this challenging athletic discipline. From the Olympic Games, to the World Championships, to the highest marks ever recorded in this event, Železný has forever cemented his legacy as quite possibly the greatest javelin thrower to ever live.
Thanks for watching.

Audience: "Zelezny's competing? Yeah I'll take a seat behind the competitors please."
-
19:10 You didnt mention it but even though he retired at the age of 40 he finished 3rd at his last WCH in Göteborg and I will add just one comparison - Zelezny threw over 90m 52 times, everyone else in the history combined together threw over 90m 32 times. That's just pure greatness !
-
I was a Decathlete training in Ostrava, Czech Republic in 2000-2001 and I remember we couldn’t do our warm up laps around the 400m track when Železny was throwing because apparently he actually overthrew the sector and stuck a Javelin in the surface of the track, well over 100m. It was unreal to watch him practice.
-
Zelesny has to be the greatest of all time due to the fact he threw with every different instruments in the sports history. They kept changing the javelin on him, and he still smashed world records and what they thought was humanly possible. This guy is a legitimate goat. I don't think many other athletes have had to deal with the amount of nonsense this guy did. They literally erased his world records by changing the game, and he kept setting new ones with the new instrument.
-
Met him at our local track when I was a kid, he was promoting athletics throwing events for schools. He did a few throws of at least 80m, I got his autograph on my t-shirt. Amazing
-
Zelezny retired in 2006 and started coaching. I heard in 2008 during a winter training camp he got frustrated at the athletes he was coaching and threw a javelin over 85 meters as an example how it is done. What a legend.
-
Fun fact: Jan Zelezny trained Barbora Spotakova and she also has WR in javelin since 2008
-
As a Czech person I highly appreciate how well you learned to pronounce his name. ❤️
-
When they change the rules on an individual not once but twice because he is so much better than anyone else, and he still dominates that's greatness.
-
He use his whip technique but never dislocated his shoulder means that his form is just literally perfect because if your form is slightly of, your shoulder would certainly popped out with that much force.
-
This world record is insane. It has 1365 points according to world athletics, which is the highest of any male WRs. That is equivalent to running the 100m in 9.55 sec!!!
-
I cannot believe how much I enjoyed this video about an amazing, world best, athlete. I had no prior knowledge of him or his accomplishments. Now, I look forward to sharing this video with family and friends. The narrator is excellent, and I look forward to seeing more of his work!
-
Let me point out the mythical significance of being able to throw over 90m ONCE in your career.. Zelezny did it every year for a decade.
-
How he never hyperextended a knee or threw out his shoulder is just incredible.
-
Thank you for this. I kind of knew he was the best, but just how good was this guy? Undoubtedly one of the world's greatest athletes. I remember his achievements but didn't realise just how much better than all the rest the guy actually was ... and still is.... any athletics world record that has stood for 26 years should make you take some notice. Respect JZ.
-
I never thought I would watch a 20 minute video on a single javelin throwing champion lol was pretty interesting
-
"This whole javelin thing may in fact present real safety concerns" Wow, who would've thought that a competition involving tossing a throwing spear might be dangerous.
-
I can never get over the fact that that standing world record throw looked like it was easy compared to many other of his throws. Like he really didn't put that much into it, the technique was so pure.
-
Fantastic I watched this man in every Olympics and commonwealth games great memories and world records being broken live on TV there will never be another like him great video TFS best wishes Phil UK England 👍
-
That man was a phenom...and he was little bit small in comparison to the other Athletes. It's more than brute strength in Javelin. Jan is the G.O.A.T forever and ever
