In September 1986 Tafelmeier threw 85.74 metres in Como to record the first official world record for the new javelin type. The record lasted until May 1987 when Jan Železný threw 87.66 metres.[1] Tafelmeier later established a career best throw of 86.64 metres in Gelsenkirchen. This ranks him seventh among German javelin throwers with the new implement, behind Johannes Vetter, Thomas Röhler, Raymond Hecht, Boris Henry, Peter Blank and Peter Esenwein.[2]

gollark: I prefer potatOS superglobals, which are shared across all computers.
gollark: Never mind the certainly huge amount of bugs which could emerge from some hours running twice, or not at all, and the extreme hassle of dealing with also having to translate pre-DST-implementation and post-DST-implementation dates!
gollark: Why not just MEDDLE WITH THE VERY FABRIC OF TIME ITSELF instead of changing working hours?
gollark: Tired of getting up at times which don't... align with the sun, or something?
gollark: It's a bad solution to a problem which I don't think even exists, which creates nightmares for programmers everywhere.
