What else is there to say? Ouch!!
People’s Daily Online: Brazilian javelin judge Lia Mara Lourenco is helped by colleagues and medics after a javelin, launched during warm-ups by a competitor, pierced her foot before the start of the competition in a national athletics championship called Trofeu Brasil (Trophy Brazil) in Sao Paulo September 24, 2006. Lourenco was taken to the hospital and underwent surgery to remove the javelin tip. Picture taken September 24, 2006.
Isn’t that why they made lawn darts illegal?
There was a famous incident in an Olympics I think where the judge got one in the chest – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UH5s9lMpH7k
As in baseball…

Could have been worse.

I saw a pic where a highschool kid got javilined through the head – and somehow, he lived. was a number of years ago
She must have thought he was playing soccer. Its a good thing she didn’t try a head butt.
Was her foot on the record mark, and did he hit it???
That’s gonna leave a mark.
The athlete got 20 marks, the judge got one point. 😉
do you think whoever threw that got disqualified ?
Lets give this a GOLF thought….
