The javelin as a weapon has ancient origins, dating back to prehistoric times when it was used for hunting and warfare. Its competitive form, however, was popularized in the modern era, particularly in the late 19th century. The javelin throw became an official event in the Olympic Games starting in 1908 for men and in 1932 for women. The development of the sport can be attributed to various athletes and cultures over time, rather than a single "discoverer."
