If you don’t have any plans at 4 a.m. Tuesday, there’ll be a Curtis Thompson Viewing Party so friends, family and fans of the two-time Olympic javelin thrower can watch Thompson compete in Paris.

The javelin qualifying is split into two groups, with Group A scheduled for 4:20 a.m. and Group B at 5:50 a.m. The fields for each group haven’t been announced yet.

All supporters of Thompson are welcome at the Florence Township Municipal Building Courtroom to watch live.

Light refreshments will be provided (bagels, coffee, juice, etc.), courtesy of Vinny G’s Bagels and Deli. Curtis Thompson yard signs will be available for $15.

Parking will be available in the rear lot of the municipal building, which is located at 8th Street and Broad Street.

The top 12 throwers from Thursday’s qualifying rounds will compete in the final at 2:25 p.m. EST on Thursday. There’ll be another watch party for the final!

Thompson won his 4th U.S. javelin title and 2nd U.S. Olympic Trials title last month in Eugene, Ore.

He’s ranked 23rd in the world this year with his winning throw of 272-5 at the Trials, and his lifetime-best 287-8 from July of 2022 in East Stroudsburg, Pa., is No. 3 in U.S. history.

Thompson graduated from Florence High School in 2014 and was the 2016 NCAA champion for Mississippi State. He won the 2023 Pan Am Games javelin in November in Santiago, Chili.
