Congrats. One of the scariest things I remember is seeing a kid laying on the track at Woodland Park (Seattle) with a javelin sticking out his leg. It must be hard for throwing event athletes to train wirth the rsiks to others.

ESPN did a whole story on him - javelin was just centimeters from his aorta

At the Olympics he won a Bronze medal as part of the American Mixed 4 × 400 meters relay team

He has like the 4th or 5th best time in the 400 this year

The most common incident would be someone from another sport coming by, asking if they could try and throw since they often were more athletic than I, and hit themselves in the back of the head with the javelin due to throuwing it like a ball versus through the point as required. It was a quick lesson that technique, in addition to athleticism, is required.
