A freshman sprinter on the University of Georgia track team was hospitalized after he was accidentally impaled by a javelin, the school said Wednesday.

Elija Goodwin suffered a punctured and collapsed left lung when he backed into a javelin implanted in the ground while running backward sprints, according to a police report obtained by WXIA.

Medical workers sawed off a piece of the javelin that was sticking out of Goodwin’s back, the station reported. He was transported to a nearby hospital where the rest of the javelin was surgically removed by doctors.

One of the most difficult events at the Olympics
is javelin catching. Contestants don’t last long.

[dfwgator]

Tree catching is harder.

Needed more hand resin ...

Government response: Put backup cameras on all people involved in track and field including waterboys, towel stewards, and local paper sportswriters.

“Javelins are dangerous.............”

Is Georgia even an open carry javelin state?

[Darksheare]

In San Fran especially and government run schools the athletes specialize in javelin swallowing and the patented javelin poke wrestling move, approved by state and school officials, bullied onto students as normal and healthy, and leading to the recent school shooting.

Anything else you need tg?

Or a corvette.

[Clarancebeaks]

No one needs a javelin over 3ft long. This javelin had an armor piercing steel tip. No one needs a javelin with a steel tip. A rubber tip would be much safer.

A gremlin would have been the pacer for the sprinter.

[TexasGator]

Someone to explain your post!

[Darksheare]

Learn to joke.

[Robert DeLong]

Now we are really getting out of hand. But he could have fallen off a pinto he rode in on. 8>)

[Darksheare]

That would have been a bang up thing to watch.

I recall blood washed of them pretty easy. :)

Considering another name for them are SPEARS, yeah they are.

Who is surprised the snowflakes and libtards havent demanded these weapons be banned from schools? If it saves one life...

Now Ive just given a libtard a future career.

There were many javelin accidents in the stone age. I remember lots of them.
