Explanation[edit]

What is the meaning of "freestyle javelin"? Tad Lincoln (talk) 04:57, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A standard Javelin throw#Rules and competitions is fairly strictly regulated in terms of how you can throw it. Presumably, "freestyle" meant that those restrictions did not apply in that event. -- Jonel (Speak to me) 12:00, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
