Tom Petranoff

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tom Petranoff (born April 1958) is an American javelin thrower. His world record throw with the old rules javelin was greater than the length of an entire football field at 327'2".

Petranoff is also the inventor of the "Turbo Javelin." This implement is used for javelin practice, especially of the indoor kind. Made of heavy duty plastic and a rubber tip, the turbo javelin is very safe and ideal for indoor practice, and makes a good substitute for younger throwers as the official javelin can be dangerous. It is now used in its own competitions for people of all ages and is great for recreation departments and much more. The world record holder with the turbo javelin is Breaux Greer of the U.S.A.

Petranoff was born in Illinois and now lives in Rhode Island. He has coached for institutions such as Boston University.
