2004 European Winter Throwing Challenge

The 2004 European Winter Throwing Challenge was held on 13 and 14 March at St. John Athletic Stadium in Marsa, Malta.

Russia topped the points table in the women's and men's division of the team competition.

With four medals, it shared the greatest medal haul alongside Germany, which was runner-up in the points table but was the only nation to have two winners from the eight events on offer.

The host nation, Malta, had only one athlete at the event – men's javelin thrower Jean Paul Callus.

Despite going on to this success, among these only Vasiļevskis was a winner in the European Winter Throwing Challenge.
