Grip the javelin at the cord, draw it back over your shoulder, and throw it one-handed with an over-shoulder action after a short run-up. Follow through without crossing the throwing line.

One-handed over-the-shoulder throw only — no slinging or spinning. Release behind the line; crossing it is a foul. The javelin must land within the marked sector. Distance measured from the line to the first point of contact. Best attempt scores.
