What is the age requirement for the World Junior Javelin?

Question

For those of you who have not heard of it, a youtube link to a video of the event is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xM0jxaj73bg

I was wondering what is the age requirement to compete at that level or are there different age divisions?

Answer 1

The Junior Olympics feature the following age divisions: Bantam (10 and under), Midget (11-12), Youth (13-14), Intermediate (15-16) and Young Men/Women (17-18). Entry for this championship is based on athlete performances at preliminary, Association, and Regional levels of the 2008 USATF Junior Olympic Program.
