In 1996, Jan Zelezny threw 98.48 meters. That is the world record for the current Javelin size and shape. It has been modified throughout the years and many different records exist with those different javelins.

Is an olympic record the same as a world record?

No they are not the same. A World Record can be broken at any time. Whereas an Olympic Record can only be broken at the Olympic Games (it's a glorified Meet Record.) Keep in mind that a World Record CAN be set at the Olympic Games (which would in turn, automatically break the Olympic Record as well.) A World Record outranks an Olympic Record.
