What is the equipment of javelin?

The equipment of javelin consists primarily of the javelin itself, which is a spear-like projectile typically made of metal or composite materials. It features a pointed tip for aerodynamics and a grip area for the athlete to hold. Javelins vary in weight and length depending on the category, with men's javelins generally weighing 800 grams and measuring 2.6 meters, while women's javelins weigh 600 grams and are 2.2 meters long. In addition to the javelin, athletes often use appropriate footwear for traction and grip during their run-up and throw.
