Whiting and Cantwell Will Clash in Karlsruhe

Published by the IAAF on January 20, 2015

Ryan Whiting and Christian Cantwell, who between them have won five of the past six world indoor shot put titles, will compete in Karlsruhe at the IAAF Indoor Permit meeting on 31 January.

Two-time world champion David Storl would have also been in the field, but was forced to withdraw as he has not yet fully recovered from recent surgery. The German will still be in attendance to sign autographs for fans, while the two US athletes more than make up for his absence from the competition.

Also in the field is European indoor champion Asmir Kolasinac. The Serb finished fifth in Karlsruhe in 2014 and 2012.
