It seems the record for javelin is roughly 100m. One immediate question for me is, would a lighter (or possibly heavier) javelin increase records? Surely there is a trade-off due to air resistance (a 10g javelin won’t make it 100m). Are there other throwing competitions with stones/balls which result in longer distances? I am also wondering what shape would be ideal to maximise distance maybe a sphere, a raindrop shape, or something like the javelin?
To be clear I am talking about humans muscles (no aids) being used to throw.

I don’t have a specific answer number, but I have to imagine a paper airplane would have gone the farthest. That’s not exactly what your asking though
