During the decathlon, I always think only of the next event and my personal record.
— Roman Sebrle
If the javelin had hit me 10cm to the left, it would have punctured my lung, 20cm higher the throat, which would have been the worst-case scenario. Just 1cm higher and it would have hit bone, muscle and tendon and that would have been the end of my sporting career.
I think I always prefer the long jump, high jump, and javelin. I don't like the 400 metres and the pole vault except when I'm really in shape.
I looked at my shoulder and saw a javelin stuck in it. I was in shock.
My position in the army is as sport instructor. This allows me generous time off for travel and competition. I also receive a monthly salary from the army.
I am the type of guy that always looks into the future. But, of course, you never completely forget a javelin in your shoulder.
