The men's javelin was redesigned in 1984 to shorten the distance it could be thrown. The decision to shorten the jav was made by the International Amateur Athletic Association after East Germany's Uwe Hohn crushed the previous world record of 99.72 m with a throw of 104.80 m. The distances reached by improving athletes were nearing the point where they could no longer be contained in the infield, and thus the decision was made to design the jav to "underperform." By shifting the center of weight forward, the javelin's tip tilts forward and comes down sooner, steepening the arc of flight and thus shortening the throws by about 10%. The javelin tip has also been changed to reduce the flight distance
All the records were modified down to reflect the change.

How are weight and time related?
Weight and time are not directly related. Weight measures the force of gravity acting on an object, while time measures the duration of an event or interval. Factors such as acceleration, speed, and distance can influence how weight and time might interact in a specific situation.

How does ice help in losing weight?
Ice can help in losing weight by increasing the body's energy expenditure through a process called thermogenesis. When you consume ice, your body needs to work harder to warm it up to body temperature, burning more calories in the process. This can contribute to weight loss over time when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.
Has the weight of an Olympic javelin ever changed?
Yes, the weight of the Olympic javelin has changed over time. The men's javelin has been standardized at 800 grams since 1986, while the women's javelin was standardized at 600 grams in 1999. Prior to these standards, the weight and specifications of javelins varied in different competitions. These changes were made to enhance the fairness and consistency of the sport.
