About Klaus Wolfermann
- Klaus Wolfermann (born 31 March 1946) is a former West German javelin thrower.
- He won a gold medal at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich and set a world record in 1973. The javelin competition at the 1972 Games was the closest in Olympic history.
- Wolfermann had taken the lead from Janis Lusis of the USSR in the fifth round with an Olympic Record throw of 90.48 meters.
- Then, in the sixth and final round, Lusis let fly with a very long effort that measured at 90.46 meters – Wolfermann's two centimeter margin was, at the time, the smallest unit of measurement used in javelin competitions. On 5 May 1973, Klaus Wolfermann set a new world record in the javelin throw, bettering Lusis' previous record of 93.80 meters with a mark of 94.08 m.
- Wolfermann's record stood until 26 July 1976, when Hungary's Miklós Németh threw his javelin for 94.58 m at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
