But who's infinitely more known than his contemporaries who didn't do some interesting footnote-worthy thing like that and therefore get mentioned far less.
- tshaddox 4y agoExactly. I have, as of a moment ago, read exactly one article about javelin throwing in my life, and it was about that guy and the throwing technique he invented.

- djmips 4y agoTalk about disproving your point with an example made to support your point! I bet most do not know any of the javelin winners from this last Olympics or any historical greats but now we know the awesome Félix Erausquín!
