Overview by IAAF   tokyo olympic stadium04 
For the second successive World Championships, Finland provided an unexpected winner. Kinnunen showed he would be a force in the final by smashing his personal best with an 88.48 qualifying throw. Meanwhile, two of the pre-championship favourites – Backley and Železný – were eliminated. It did not take long for the 23-year old Finn to make an impression in the final. In the first round, he became only the third man to exceed 90m with the new specification javelin. Kinnunen sprinted round the track in celebration and passed in round two. Sasimovich, with his only valid throw of the final, set a national record of 87.08 in the second round. In the third, defending champion Räty improved to third place at 84.14, but was pushed out of the medals in the sixth by Lovegrove’s 84.24. Kinnunen had returned to back up his monster throw with 82.12 and 82.74. With the last throw in the final, Räty, the world record holder, produced 88.12 to claim the silver. The winner is the son of 1968 Olympic silver medallist Jorma Kinnunen and the older brother of 1989 European Junior silver medallist Jarkko Kinnunen.
 These are the official results of the Men's Javelin Throw event at the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo, Japan. There were a total of 41 participating athletes, with the final held on Monday August 26, 1991. All results were made with rough surfaced javelin. The qualification mark was set at 82.00 metres.
