The men's javelin throw at the 2017 World Championships in Athletics is being held at the Olympic Stadium on 10 and 12 August.[1]

Summary[]

Thirteen athletes made the automatic qualifying mark to get into the final. Five throws into the first round, Johannes Vetter (GER) threw the winner, 89.89 m (294 ft 10 in). At the end of the round, his teammate Thomas Röhler threw 87.08 m to move into second place. On the second throw of the second round, Jakub Vadlejch (CZE) threw tantalizingly close to Vetter with an 89.73 m. Three throws later, Vetter's second throw even bettered that, 89.78 m. At the end of round, Röhler improved to 88.26 m Through the next three rounds, nobody could surpass that third best throw, not even the leaders, though Petr Frydrych (CZE) threw 87.93 m twice. On his final throw, Frydrych threw 88.32m to take the bronze medal. Both Czech athletes are coached by world record holder Jan Železný. Both threw personal bests.
