The men's javelin at the World Athletics Championships 1987 was held on August 29 and 30, 1987 in the Olympic Stadium in the Italian capital, Rome .
For the first time at the World Championships, a modified spear with a forward shifted center of gravity was used in 1986. The two main reasons for this were the ever larger distances achieved and the measurement problems that arose from the flat angle of impact of the old spear models. Often there was no mark or a mark that was difficult to recognize that the spear left on impact, which often made measuring the distance very difficult or sometimes even made the throw invalid. Moving the center of gravity forward on the new spear fixed both problems. The Finn Seppo Räty became world champion . Before the third in the European Championship in 1986, he won Viktor Jewsjukow from the Soviet Union . The Czechoslovak world record holder Jan Železný , who was extremely successful in the following years, won his first medal at a major international championship with bronze .
