The throwing events have always been a European tradition and the field of athletes competing this year in Zurich is as strong as ever. The German delegation led by David Storl, Robert Harting and Christina Schwanitz will aim to medal in almost each discipline. Heavy favourites Sandra Perkovic and Barbora Spotakova will seek to assert their dominance once more, and for the Czech star this is the perfect moment to add the last major title missing from her collection.
