Julian Weber won the men’s javelin throw at Birmingham 2026 with a distance of 90.40 metres.
The German thrower set a championship record and a European-leading performance. His compatriot Nick Thumm took silver with 83.76 metres, while Latvia’s Patriks Gailums won bronze with 82.97 metres.
Weber’s winning throw was more than six metres farther than the silver-medal mark. The result made Germany the leading nation in the men’s javelin final, with two athletes on the podium.
The javelin is thrown from a runway, and the measurement is taken from the foul line to the first point where the implement lands. A throw counts only if it lands tip-first within the marked sector and the athlete remains behind the line.
