thats not real, its photo shoped :rolleyes:It was carried on many legitimate news sources, for example. (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=2&ObjectID=10403226)
The story (09/27/06):
SAO PAULO - An athletics judge was speared in the foot by a wayward javelin while watching over warm-ups for the national javelin championships in Sao Paulo.
The javelin pierced Lia Marie Lourenco's entire foot, before she fell screaming to the ground.
Medics desperately tried to calm her while an ambulance was called to take her to hospital after the incident on Sunday. The tip of the javelin was successfully removed by surgery.
Lourenco is a well-experienced javelin judge, with more than 10 years of experience, and had entered the warm-up field to recover another fallen javelin."

Southwestern College Invite 1991 a dude stanging right on the edge of the boundry line for the javalin took one in the head. Grazed his skull entering just above his left eye and exited right above his ear. No perminate damage. Was day 1 of 2 day meet. The next day he was back in the stands and his head was swollen up like a basketball! When it happened I thought for sure he was dead.
