Fatima was an olympic Javelin thrower, she has won 2 silver medals, 1 bronze and 1 gold medal.
No, however, javelin thrower Steve Backley of Great Britain won 2 silver medals (1996, 2000) and 1 bronze medal (1992) in Olympic competition. Backley had the 'misfortune' of competing in the Olympics against Jan Železný of Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic, quite possibly the greatest javelin thrower in history, who won the gold medal in 1992, 1996, and 2000.
Very complicated question, since the javelin is one of the most difficult events in athletics to master. It takes a combination of speed, strength, flexibility and rhythm that must be trained for.In a nutshell, the javelin approach consists of 3 phases: the runup, the cross-overs and the deilvery.Runup: javelin is carried above the shoulder and thrower runs towards the javelin foul line increasing speed as he/she goes.Crossovers: javelin is "withdrawn" to a position behind the thrower. The shoulders are turned sideways (parallel to runway). Leg drive and body position are key here. A final "penultimate" step prior to the plant puts the thrower in position to get the plant leg down before the upper body has a chance to creep forward.Delivery: the thrower initiates the throw with the non-throwing side by solidly putting the plant leg down. This causes the throwing side to react to that blocking action and rotate around the left side. The throwing arm comes over the top (as opposed to outside the shoulder axis) as much as practical. The momentum of the runup necessitates a 1 to 2 step follow-through.

The Who have never had a number one single in the UK
Cliff Richard had his first number 1 single in the UK with "Living Doll" in 1959. Elvis Presley had his first number 1 single in the UK with "All Shook Up" in 1957. Therefore, Elvis Presley had a UK number 1 first.
No. It reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart.
If you throw javelin fairly far, and you are a girl on top of that, you are very likely to be recruited for college. The likelihood of achieving a full scholarship, however, for just javelin, is unlikely. I consistently threw in the high 120s in high school, and was recruited by many colleges. I ended up with a 3/4 scholarship to a very prestigious NCAA Division 1 school, but I think the fact that I knew how to throw discus and shot put also helped. If you are a girl and throw javelin, there's a high chance you'll get recruited. There aren't many states that throw javelin in high school, so the pool of colleges is rather large compared to the number of elite high school javelin throwers. My advice to you is to stick with it and focus on becoming better every day. Also, be open to all of the colleges recruiting you and build good relationships with each no matter what division they are. Some D3 programs are better than some at the D1 level and sometimes they can offer more "financial aid." Good luck! --Fellow Javelin Thrower
