I used to throw a lot as a kid 🤣 - I reckon that helped a lot. Plus I played tennis. How long was your throw in the video?

Helped a lot with what?
I'm not sure how far I was trying to make my throw straight in the line,
I set the aim(a bottle) for about 35 meters away and threw javelin a bit further than the bottle so maybe 38-40 meters
I meant throwing stuff as a child helped me a lot with general technique and strength for the javelin (same with playing a lot of tennis, especially the serve). It meant that when I first picked up a javelin and threw it, it was a kind of natural action. My PE teachers noticed this and put me forward for competition. 40m is very good. You’d easily hit 60m with a run-up and just improving the crossover and delivery. 🙂
