Biography


Železný was born in Mladá Boleslav, Czechoslovakia. He won the gold at the 1992, 1996 and 2000 Summer Olympic Games and silver in the 1988 Olympics as well as three World Championship titles; in 1993, 1995 and 2001.


Železný holds the world record, at 98.48 metres (323 ft 1 in) set in 1996, and the World Championships record of 92.80 m, set in 2001. On 26 March 1997 in Stellenbosch, South Africa Železný threw 5 times over the 90m barrier in a single meeting. Železný is also the only athlete to throw more than 95 meters with the new type of javelin, something he achieved three times.[1]


During his career he has had many great battles against the likes of Steve Backley, Sergey Makarov, Boris Henry, Seppo Räty, Raymond Hecht and Aki Parviainen.


He planned to retire after the 2006 European Championships in Gothenburg, where he won the bronze with a throw of 85.92 m.
He took leave of his career on 19 September 2006 on exhibition in Mladá Boleslav, the place where he started with athletics.
