The Long Before Forgoten Usage of Spear

Long before javelin was introduced as a standard Olympic Game (modern or ancient), it has been used during warfare or for hunting. Think of it as the ancient equal of a modern rifle.
In 13 of July 2007 during the Golden Gala Rome Giavellotto, a javelin athlete, mr. Pitkamaki (hmmmm weird name...here in Greece kamaki means fish-spear, a harpoon....hmmmmm...coinsidence?) demonstrated the original use of a spear to the unfortunate candidate of long-jump, mr Sdiri.

If you ask me that was a perfect throw, well calculated, balanced, the warrior demonstrated his skills without the need for further bloodshed.

France should admit defeat to Finland.






P.S.: Rumor has it that mr. Sdiri looks like a dear but its from an unconfirmed source.
