I am the type of guy that always looks into the future. But, of course, you never completely forget a javelin in your shoulder.

I looked at my shoulder and saw a javelin stuck in it. I was in shock.

If the javelin had hit me 10cm to the left, it would have punctured my lung, 20cm higher the throat, which would have been the worst-case scenario. Just 1cm higher and it would have hit bone, muscle and tendon and that would have been the end of my sporting career.
