However, even so, among all the competitions at the Olympic Games, the javelin throw remains one of the most dangerous. Countless people have lost their lives or been severely injured by javelins. To Liu Shiqing's knowledge, there had once been a fatal accident involving a javelin at Wuling City No.1 Middle School. After that, all middle schools in Wuling City completely canceled the training for the javelin event. Only Wuling City Sports School still retained this event.
The javelin throw is not only one of the events in the men's decathlon but also in the women's heptathlon, and the javelins used in both are not the same. To save time, Shuimu University scheduled the women's heptathlon javelin event immediately after the men's decathlon javelin event. The single event of men's javelin throw, on the other hand, was scheduled to take place in the afternoon.
