His Olympic Record still stands. Thomas Rohler was the closest to Andreas Thorkildsen's record with 90.30 at Rio 2016.
man he has such smooth, easy flowing form. he makes it look effortless.
Great athletes always make it loooks easily.
@@nehasehrawat1025 Many do. I wouldn't say someone like Johannes Vetter makes it look easy though.
Andreas THORkildsen !!! Handsome guy with great body as well. Love him...
Gay
Who is here after neeraj chopra winning a gold 🥇🖤🖤🖤
😂
Thorkildsen > Chopra
@@rafee_alaasyawi you can't say that because Chopra is only 23. He has broke junior world record and may break senior record also.
@@rafee_alaasyawi Neeraj Chopra threw it farther than Thorkildsen's Athens gold winning distance of 86.5 m.
I just don't understand why people aren't kept off the field down range of the Javelin throw.
I remember that athlete getting speared in Rome while warming up slightly off the left of the field, or the judge in Germany who died after his neck was pierced for running towards the javelin before it even landed like these guys in the video-
why can't the judges wait 5 more seconds before sprinting towards the airborne javelin. fuck.
YumYum CoolCool thats if the OG are held in china . In the USA, the lawsuit is hard
Safety Third is my motto. 🤣
Cant wait to see him Live on August 11th!
Koval's reaction to his throw is just hilarious! 0:49
Because nobody expected to see him even in top 6; there was another Latvian :- favourite. Even he didnt believe 😆
Andreas Thokildsen is just so Handsome!!!
かっこええ
good Andreas
i love thorkildsen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do the guys in the field at 0:17 not get hit by the javelin?
@jasmin8ter2010 well....since there is is no wind inside the stadium, its kinda easy to predict where its gonna fall if you see it
COOL
yeah but the rest of the comments is bs xD He secures the gold medal (third round), if pitkamaki hits that javelin right, he's able to, throw 90m+ also, so that gold medal wasen't secure at all with 87 meters...
I mean why wouldn't he win. Afterall he is THORkildsen. If u know what I mean 😀😊😊
I'm curious about "his" javelin
YEH !!! FUKN DYNAMITE! BRILLIANT BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU!! AWESOME!!
Hi im 13 and do javelin and I have got a town sports competition tommoro I can throw 32m is that a good distance for my age?my p.e teachers say I am amazing at javelin and could qualify for england sports
Yea that is a pretty good distance for a 13 year old. I'm 14 and throw 31m but i barely do it. I'm joining an athletics club outside of school in the next few weeks and hopefully i will improve my javelin by quite a bit too. I'm hoping to get around 35-40m in the next couple of months. By the way, you should definitely join some sort of athletics team as well (if you haven't already) which you can practice javelin at. You got a very good distance so you might as well go and see if you can get anything from it.
P.S people around our age should get around 10-20m without training, so we are doing pretty well. Imagine what we could get with a bit of training.
Ah thank you my teacher was telling me it was a good score for my age and im really small so its good and I do football aswell so I cant really join an athletics team but im going to keep at it at school im aiming for around 35m my best is 32m my town record is 28m but at the Town cup I got 27 I was close to brealing the record so yeah im going to stick at it thank you for the comment :)
lol, love how he said his name :p
The commentator seems to know nothing of javelin throw.
العقبى لي ان شاء الله :)
Proud norwegians. We're proud of you, Andreas
I love commentators that pronounce the names of the athletes well.
If tero wouldn't have rolled his ankle he would have won. His first throw shown was incredible despite his ankle giving out on his plant
Being the marker for this event has to be the sketchiest thing ever.
hush it jon you haven't gone over 40.
I wanna see how Thorkildsen will do in 2012....
sure*
3 finns in top six!
Nice!
Ok is this a joke? Hot guy comes on and announcer dude is like "Fair haired boy something something", few seconds later he takes his shirt off.
vetter going to break these records easily
Who?
Nope!
Hahahahahahah lmao
wtf 1 person dont like this? .. lol back to mars!!

That guy is a long lost spartan or something... that's just not fair...
well... duuhh.
Has anyone died by being hit by a javelin in the olympics??
I don’t think so, in the Olympics probably not, they would not have shown it on television, there may have been a time or two it has happened but I doubt it
Andreas must be boss at dodgeball
Birat kole🤣
xvr videoO the best
watch t womens final,t russian is bigger than t men!
i always get a little nervous watching this, coz they are so close to stabbing themselves in the head when they throw
absolute butchering of the names
@sladeoss no
飛ばし過ぎなんよ…
hahaha he so does not pronouce thorkildsen correct
Oh my gosh this is so boring
Javelin throw is not boring.. its one of the most exciting sports in track and field
If it’s so boring then why watch it
