Jan Železný &#; The Youth Years
The life story of one of the best Czech athletes in history did not start very well. Jan Železný was born on June 16, , in the seventh month of pregnancy weighing kilograms, and the left foot unnaturally retracted because of the shortened tendons. In his childhood, he was miserable for a variety of injuries, often sick and difficult to cope with his elder brother Peter. Thanks to the sad detour, he learned to overcome the complex obstacles, which later led him to the world&#;s Javelin Throw throne.
Few cities in the world can boast a native, a triple Olympic champion and triple world champion.

The javelin throw was added to the Ancient Olympic Games as part of the pentathlon in &#;BC.[1] It included two events, one for distance and the other for accuracy in hitting a target.

Athletes held the javelin by the ankyle, a leather strap around the shaft, so when they released the javelin, the unwinding of the thong gave the javelin a spiral trajectory.[2]
Throwing javelin-like poles into targets was revived in Germany and Swed
