This time he went even further as he threw a 66.95m in his first attempt and kept going further as when he recorded a huge 68.08m in his second attempt. In his fifth attempt as the Javelin took flight, it did not look to land anytime soon and when it did it was marked at 68.55m as there was nothing left to prove.
