Now everyone is telling her not to reopen insisting that the place is cursed, but she does so anyway and then the killings start back-up. The camp is run by Bambi (Candice Azzara) who had been the only cheerleader not killed during the infamous incident. This causes the summer cheerleading camp to be closed down, but then 19 years later, it gets reopened. In 1963 the town of It Had To Be, Indiana wins the state football championship, but then after the game the cheerleaders turn up dead having been killed by a javelin that manages to slice through all five of them at the same time. 1985: Set a championship record of 92.4-Word Review: Who killed the cheerleaders?.1985: Won the javelin event at the 1985 IAAF World Cup – Canberra with 96.96 m (best performance in the world that year ).Threw the longest men's javelin throw ever at 104.80 m. 1982: European Champion in Athens with 91.34 m.1981: European junior champion for the GDR starting in Utrecht with 86.58 m European junior record with 86.58 m.1976 to 1980: GDR champion for his age group.He is 1.98 metres (6 ft 6 in) tall and had a competition weight of 112 kg.

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 2020 Summer Olympics to be held in Tokyo. Among others, Hohn has coached China's national champion Zhao Qinggang. Hohn has been a professional coach since 1999. However, Hohn's record-breaking throw accelerated the process as throws of his distance were in danger of going beyond the available space in normal stadiums. Contrary to popular myth, this was not the primary reason for the change in javelin design rules that came into force starting in 1986 the relevant change of moving the javelin's centre of gravity forward by four centimetres had already been officially proposed prior to Hohn's record throw, not only to shorten distances but also to get rid of the then frequent flat or ambiguous landings, which often made it hard to assess if a throw should be declared legal. Hohn's throw shattered the previous world record of 99.72 m set by Tom Petranoff of the United States in May 1983. On 20 July 1984, competing in the Olympic Day of Athletics competition at the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark, Berlin, Hohn threw the javelin a distance of 104.80 m ( 343 ft 9 + 3⁄ 4 in). In 1985, Hohn won the IAAF World Cup and European Cup but his career ended in 1986 after several setbacks due to a surgery.Īfter his retirement from competition, Hohn became a coach and since 1999 he has worked for SC Potsdam, the successor of ASK Vorwärts Potsdam, where he started his career as a sportsman. He did however win gold at the Friendship Games, throwing 94.44 m ( Arto Härkönen won the 1984 Olympics with a throw of 86.76 m). He did not compete at the 1983 World Championships and missed out on the 1984 Summer Olympics as East Germany had boycotted the games. He then won gold at the 1982 European Championships with a 91.34 m throw. 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.īorn in Neuruppin, Hohn excelled at the javelin throw from a young age and won the 1981 European Junior Championship with a throw of 86.56 m, a junior record. 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 is the only athlete to throw a javelin 100 metres or more, with his world record of 104.80 m (343 ft 9 + 3⁄ 4 in). Uwe Hohn (born 16 July 1962) is a retired German track and field athlete who competed in the javelin throw.
