Comment on the world and European records:
The above-mentioned world / European records were exceeded by Jan Železný before these European championships on July 14, 1990 with 89.66 m . But the spear used for this purpose, provided with aerodynamic advantages, which was approved until September 21, 1991, was subsequently declared inadmissible by the IAAF . The world records achieved by Jan Železný, Steve Backley and Seppo Räty were considered invalid, Backley's 89.58 meters were again considered a world record.
Record improvement
The existing EM record was improved twice at these European Championships:
- 85.48 m - Einar Vilhjálmsson , qualification on August 27th
- 87.30 m - Steve Backley , final on August 28th
