Their success was based on an alteration on the grip of the javelin. They had stapled two bits of stiff cord on it, improving its support for fingers. The existing world record by Eric Lemming was 53.90 metres, but with their enhancement, Evert broke it with 57.42. He travelled to Stockholm in September 1906 to challenge Lemming. Although Lemming was victorious, he duplicated their grip and took back the record with 58.37 metres. At this point, the new grip was banned and all results achieved with it were disqualified, reverting the world record to 53.90.[2]Evert Jakobsson at the Olympic GamesGamesEventRankResultNotes1908Javelin throw8\u201316unknownSource: [3] His result wasn’t officially recorded, but a newspaper correspondent reported that his throws were less than 40 metres.[4]Freestyle javelin throw10\u201333unknownSource: [5]Shot putDid not startSource: [6]His parents were master builder Gustaf Jakobsson and Josefina Torck.
