Outta Here PO24-80
The Javelin Throw is such a very specific Olympic discipline. I can see it being vital when the Games began in ancient Greece, but now... not so much. Regardless, having faulted in his first throw, Arshad Nadeem (Pakistan) let fly with a huge throw of almost 95 meters. For those unversed in metric, that is over the length of an American football field. He didn't throw that far again in his ensuing attempts, but it was more than enough for the Gold Medal. It was the first and thus far only medal for Pakistan.
