Despite the technical constraints placed on the javelin - its center of gravity has been moved forward in recent years in order to reduce distances, for safety reasons - the premier men are again topping the 90-meter mark. Finland's Tero Pitkamaki, shown here during the 2007 World Championships, won the event with a throw measuring 90.33 meters.
