2014 European Cup Winter Throwing
The 2014 European Cup Winter Throwing was held on 16 and 17 March at the Centro Nacional de Lançamentos (National Throws Centre) and Estádio Municipal in Leiria, Portugal. It was the fourteenth edition of the athletics competition for throwing events and was jointly organised by the European Athletic Association and the Federação Portuguesa de Atletismo. The competition featured men's and women's contests in shot put, discus throw, javelin throw and hammer throw. In addition to the senior competitions, there were also under-23 events for younger athletes.
Two athletes defended their titles from 2013: Latvia's Zigismunds Sirmais retained the men's javelin in 81.60 m (267 ft 8 1⁄2 in) and Russia's Yevgeniya Kolodko topped the women's shot put with a mark of 18.66 m (61 ft 2 1⁄2 in). One world-leading mark came in the senior section in the form of Aleksandr Lesnoy's 21.23 m (69 ft 7 3⁄4 in) in the shot put. Two national records were improved during the two-day event: Dejan Mileusnic had a men's javelin Bosnian and Herzegovinian record with his first round throw of 80.40 m (263 ft 9 1⁄4 in) while Androniki Lada twice improved the Cypriot record in the discus, throwing 55.08 m (180 ft 8 1⁄2 in) then 55.66 m (182 ft 7 1⁄4 in).
