The origins of javelins can be traced back to early human hunting tools. The ends of bamboo or wood were sharpened and stabbed or thrown either to hunt or defend against wild animals. Later, the javelin gradually evolved into a form of warfare**. In the Paleolithic Age, people have begun to use javelins with stone tips, which can be thrown at a long distance and have a certain lethality.
With the evolution of the times and the development of technology, the materials and shapes of the logo are constantly improving. It is difficult to distinguish the head of a stone spear from a spear-shaped stone cluster, because the long handle of An is the spear of the stabber, the half-length handle of the Ann is the javelin of the thrower, and the short handle of the shooter is the arrow. By the time of ancient Greece and Rome, the javelin even became an important part of the army. For example, the light infantry of the Greek Spartans could throw a javelin 20 to 60 meters away, while the ancient Roman hoplites threw a spear about 15 to 2 meters, weighs 4 to 5 kilograms, and can be thrown up to 30 meters.
In addition to being used as a ** and hunting tool, the javelin has gradually developed into a sport. As a throwing event in athletics, athletes are required to throw the javelin after a run-up. Javelin competition has strict rules and regulations. For example, parameters such as running distance and throwing angle of an athlete need to be measured before a race;During the competition, athletes need to adhere to specific throwing postures and movement specifications;The result of the race is determined by the distance and accuracy of the javelin throw.
In general, the origin and development of javelins is closely related to the survival needs and combat skills of humans. With the progress of society and the development of science and technology, javelin has gradually evolved from a practical tool to a sports competition, and has formed a unique competition culture and rule system.
