execution
On the IAAF website there is only one result list for all technical disciplines with the final result for all participants. A qualification is not listed there for any jumping, pushing or throwing competition. Accordingly, all eight javelin throwers competed together in one group for the final. It is not clear how many attempts were available to the athletes and whether after the third round, as was common at the Olympic Games at the time, for example, the best six throwers went into a final with three more rounds.
At the Olympic Games during this time, it was common practice in the technical disciplines to first conduct a qualifying round on the morning of the competition day, if the number of participants was not too small. This preliminary round was held in two groups. The final took place with the qualified female athletes, usually in the afternoon of the same day.

References and comments
- ↑ After the annexation of Austria by Germany at the time of these European championships, the German flag from that time must be used as a symbol. For a limited period of time, the Republic of Austria did not exist and was part of the German Empire. In Vienna itself, the corresponding flag was waved everywhere, and it is now being used here - even if, as in all other cases, with a certain degree of discomfort.
