Myyrä comes in 4th ALL-TIME! 🙌 🇫🇮 ⬇️
The three-time Olympian was a pioneer of training still used to this very day as he dominated the Javelin in the 1920s, winning 2 x Olympic Golds!!! 🥇🥇
Amazingly, Myyrä’s first Olympic Gold in 1920 was achieved with a fractured arm during the competition – his left (non-throwing) arm being hit by American James Lincoln’s warm-up throw!!! 😳
