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 is the speed of a javelin measured?

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.
