    I think that they should add a foot to the distance that the javelin was actually thrown! I consider that cheating! ;)

    TEchnically, they need to resolve where the foot was before the foot moved when the hole appeared in the foot, lest the javelin has to be thrown again because the hole thong moved when the hole appeared in the judges foot..

    That happened to my Chemistry teacher when I was a sophomore in High School. 
 
She was the spotter and for whatever reason didn't get out of the way. 
 
Being that she was 300 lbs, I never saw it coming....

    I think you are disqualified if you maim a judge.

    Golf is the universal language!  Not according to Ricky's mom, Mrs. Smith, who thinks her son is speaking the "international language" with Monique the hot foreign exchange student from France.

    She'll learn to pay attention from now on, that's for sure. 
 
 (...and she should be happy that it hit that end of her!)
