|
 |
Železný finally won a world title despite being well below his best. After opening with 81.86 in the final. the Czech thrower had two bad fouls and was only fourth at halfway. Defending champion Kinnunen was in front followed by Polyunin and Hill. Nobody else could improve in the next two rounds except Železný. with throws of 83.82 then 85.98 to take the lead. Hill. competing in his third world final. improved to 82.96 with his final throw but was now one place outside the medals. Hill’s team-mate Backley also improved to consolidate his fifth place. A doping test failure by Polyunin promoted the two Britons to third and fourth places. |
These are the official results of the Men's Javelin Throw event at the 1993 World Championships in Stuttgart. Germany. There were a total of 47 participating athletes. with the final held on Monday August 16. 1993. All results were made with rough surfaced javelin. The qualification mark was set at 81.00 metres. |
