Javelin project culture

It originated from ancient human activities of hunting wild animals with spears, and later spears developed into combat weapons. In 708 BC, it was listed as one of the five events of 18 ancient Olympic Games. Modern javelin movement began in Europe countries such as Sweden, Greece, Hungary and Finland in19th century, and a javelin competition was held in Fallon, Sweden in 1792.

At first, the wooden javelin used by athletes was as thick as before and after. In the early 1950s, American javelin thrower Franklin Held developed a wooden javelin with thin ends and thick middle, which extended the flying time of the javelin in the air, so it was called "gliding javelin".
