Both in the historical and athletic context, the exact person who first threw a javelin is unknown. The first use of a javelin was as a weapon, so it was likely a soldier or hunter who first threw it. In terms of the event of javelin, history indicates that it was an athlete in ancient Greece who first participated in the event.
