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.
This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available through my website at greigleach.com or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of the post to purchase the painting above. Since it is an original work of art, it is a first come first served reality. The work sells for $95 USD including shipping, but, yes, international shipping is both available and extra.
