>For example, there’s “Félix Erausquín”, who invented a javelin throwing technique you probably never heard of.

But who's infinitely more known than his contemporaries who didn't do some interesting footnote-worthy thing like that and therefore get mentioned far less.

Exactly. I have, as of a moment ago, read exact one article about javelin throwing in my life, and it was about that guy and the throwing technique he invented.

I bet a lot of javelin people heard this legend and then spent time looking it up and messing about with the move for fun.

Talk about disproving your point with an example made to support your point!

I bet most do not know any of the javelin winners from this last Olympics or any historical greats but now we know the awesome Félix Erausquín!
