2010 IAAF Hammer Throw Challenge

Koji Murofushi of Japan won the men's challenge, while Betty Heidler of Germany prevailed on women's side.

The Diamond League sought to showcase all the events, but according to IAAF, hammer throw could not be included for infrastructure reasons.

[3] 35-year-old Koji Murofushi of Japan, Olympic gold medalist from 2004, managed to beat Tajikistan's Dilshod Nazarov by two and a half meters despite only competing three times.
