Olympic record | New spear used for the first time at these games, so the old record is no longer valid |
Comment on the records and the new javelin: In
1999, the IAAF World Athletics Association introduced a new throwing device. a. the focus has been shifted. The distances achieved with it were smaller, so all previous records were invalid. The main reason for the change was that it was easier to determine where the spear hit the ground after the throw. The trajectory of the earlier spear was often so flat that there were repeated inconsistencies regarding the distance or validity of a throw. The flight curve of the new spear became significantly steeper, so that the previous problems of distance measurement hardly occurred.
The last world record with the old spear was 80.00 m and was set on September 9, 1988 by the GDR thrower Petra Felke in Potsdam .
With 74.78 m Petra Felke also achieved the last Olympic record with the old javelin on September 26, 1988 in Seoul .
Further remarks:
- All times are based on Sydney local time ( UTC + 10 ).
- All widths are given in meters (m).
qualification
The qualification was carried out in two groups. The qualification width was 61.50 m. Since only six athletes exceeded this distance (highlighted in light blue), the final field was filled with the next best participants from both groups to twelve throwers (highlighted in light green). So finally 59.49 m had to be achieved to take part in the finals.
