The above statement is False.
The motion that is done in a straight line is known as the rectilinear motion. On the other hand, the motion done in a curved, straight path is known as the curvilinear motion. Since the javelin or shot-put threw by an athlete takes a curved path, it can be concluded that the javelin undergoes a curvilinear motion.
The correct statement would be that a javelin or shot-put thrown by an athlete takes a curved path; hence its motion is termed curvilinear.
