What is the length and weight of "Schöningen Spear II"? Wikipedia has "The complete spears vary in length from 1.84 to 2.53 m (6.04 to 8.30 ft), with diameters ranging from 29 to 47 mm (1.14 to 1.85 in)" But the reference is behind a paywall.
How does it compare to olympic javelin?
- dmurray 4y agoAn Olympic javelin is about 2.5m, but note that it's not optimized for throwing distance, and in fact has been made more difficult to throw several times since 1986. If it were optimized, or even kept at 1984 specifications, some athletes might be able to throw it out of the field.
- Gravityloss 4y agoProfessional Javelin throwing is crazy. I as a pretty regular person get about 20 meters, a quarter of the result of Olympic athletes. It's as if I took 40 seconds to run 100 meters.
