In a school sports competition, teams from classes $8^{\mathrm{A}}$, $8^{\text {Б}}$, and $8^{\mathrm{B}}$ participated. In each event, one of these teams took 1st place, one took 2nd place, and one took 3rd place. At the end of the competition, points were counted: $x$ points were awarded for 1st place, $y$ for 2nd place, and $z$ for 3rd place ($x > y > z > 0$, all integers). Finally, team $8^{\mathrm{A}}$ received 22 points, and teams $8^{\text {Б}}$ and $8^{\mathrm{B}}$ received 9 points each. How many events were there in total, and who took 2nd place in the javelin throw, if it is known that team $8^{\text {Б}}$ took 1st place in the jump rope event?
