Answer: Javelin
Uwe Hohn is a retired German track and field athlete who competed

more, with his world record of 104.80 m (343 ft 9+3⁄4 in). A new javelin design
was implemented in 1986 and the records had to be restarted, thus Hohn’s mark
became an “eternal world record”. He coached Indian track and field
athlete Neeraj Chopra, who won the Gold in Men’s javelin throw at 2020 Summer
Olympics held in Tokyo.
Hohn has been a professional coach since 1999. Among others,
Hohn has coached China’s national champion Zhao Qinggang. In 2017, Hohn signed
the contract with the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) for coaching the
Indian javelin squad including Junior world record holder Neeraj Chopra till the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Chopra
won the Gold medal for India in the Men’s javelin throw with a throw of 87.58 m.
