Elite Hammer Throw Comes to Switzerland
For the first time in more than a decade, a truly world-class hammer throw competition will take place in Switzerland. Switzerland has a long history of hosting elite competitions. The small country already has just as many Diamond League meets as the US, including the finale in Zurich. But the hammer throw has disappeared from these competitions. Ever since the Weltklasse am Rhein throwers meet was canceled around 2000, it has been rare for more than a few 70 meter throwers to show up at the same time. Things got worse after Switzerland’s own two 70 meter guys retired after the Athens Olympiad.

Looks like an entertaining meet (what’s the 80m “cat-stretcher”?) and you get six throws with top guys. Good luck!
Is Lydia throwing in the meet

I don’t have the women’s start lists, but I know she will be there. This is where she set her national record last year and she’ll again be facing the hometown thrower and Swiss champion Nicole Zihlmann.
Will you be able to post video afterwards?

Conor McCullough is having such an uneven hammer season, I was glad to see he is considered ready once again to compete internationally.
