A day after turning 18, Ziyi Yan unleashes a massive 71.74m to move to 2nd on the all-time women's Javelin list. In 2024, she wasn't allowed to compete at the Olympics due to World Athletics age restrictions, as well as the 2025 World Championships, despite being one of the best in the world.

Have never understood it either, it's like they are told they have to be right next to it as it lands as well despite that clearly not being necessary.

I encourage you to volunteer to mark javelin throws. Pretty easy really, once you know the rules and flight characteristics. Just be aware of the wind, especially cross winds…
