Kenya’s special son and Olympic javelin silver medalist, Julius Yego, must have been astounded after watching his counterpart Johannes Vetter from Germany produce the second-longest javelin throw in history on Sunday.

The German stunned the world after throwing 97.76 metres at the Tour Gold event in Chorzow, Poland.
