Fun fact. Uwe Hohn, the permanent record holder, is the coach for this year's Olympic gold medalist.
- msravi 5y agoActually, no. Neeraj Chopra trained with Uwe Hohn until 2019, but then (Chopra) asked for a change. His coach over the last 2 years in the run up to the Olympics has been Klaus Bartonietz. 1. https://sportstar.thehindu.com/olympics/tokyo-olympics/neeraj-chopra-javelin-throw-gold-tokyo-2020-india-athletics-medal-milkha-singh-pt-usha-jsw-sports/article35805144.ece https://sportstar.thehindu.com/olympics/tokyo-olympics/neera... 2. https://thebridge.in/athletics/tokyo-olympics-neeraj-chopra-coach-24291 https://thebridge.in/athletics/tokyo-olympics-neeraj-chopra-... 3. https://www.newindianexpress.com/sport/olympics/2021/aug/08/afis-decision-to-train-neeraj-chopra-with-german-expert-klaus-bartonietz-bears-fruit-2341987.html https://www.newindianexpress.com/sport/olympics/2021/aug/08/...

- getlawgdon 5y agoThere is absolutely no such thing as "permanent record holder" in track and field. The structure of records in track and field is a very specific thing, and the current world record holder, which record is set in accordance with the current matrix of regulation and ratification procedures, is canonically considered the superlative all-time performance. Uwe's throw, while astonishing, is a now a sidenote and asterisk.
