La course d'élan est importante : sur une piste qui n'excède pas 36,50 m de long, elle s'achève sur une ligne courbe à ne pas dépasser. Elle permet de donner au javelot une vitesse d'envol en le plaçant sur une trajectoire qui doit être la plus longue possible; pour ce faire, le javelot doit être amené dans une position arrière maximale au moment de placement : c'est la position dite «du double appui», où avant le geste final du lancer, le javelot est pointé vers le haut selon un angle qui varie entre 30° et 40°. 3, record 5, French, - vitesse%20d%27envol
