| Message | It is implicit in the name that you throw the javelin. Indeed, the sport is known solely as javelin. |

| Message | Javelin throwing is just as correct. As far as I know, both can be used. Just like that other athletic discipline: "discus" and "discus throw". On the other hand, I've never heared anyone referring to the olympic "hammer throw" sport as simply "hammer". :P |
