kashorn walcot , oleksandr pyatnytsya and antti ruuskanen are the worlds top javelin throwers
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

Wrestling, Javelin throw, and swimming
You have to go to the olympic trials and be a top competitor.
On average the Olympic pit is 24.75m2 on the top.
The top speed for the Olympic-Class vessels was probably about 23 knots.
Depends how long the javelin is in the air: even for top throwers, it is usually less than 2 seconds in the air. Height is more determinant of its air time than distance itself, although there is basically an optimum height angle for gaining maximum distance, depending on the specific conditions - wind direction and strength, atmospheric air pressure and humidity. If you are including the time taken for 'run-up' before delivery, you need to add another 4 or 5 seconds or so - depending on the method used by the thrower to gain momentum, allow for body twist and use of personal psyche methods.
they're picked ath the 2012 Us olympic trials. The top 2 finishers in each event except the 100 and 200 free (the top four-six are chosen) earn a spot on the olympic team

Anyone who has an Olympic Trial cut off can go to the olympic trials, however, the top 2 finishers in the finals are the ones who go to the olympics.
