Team announced for indoor throws in Sweden

After the successes of previous years, England Athletics will be returning to Sweden for the Växjö Throws International 2025.

A strong team of 15 throwers have been selected to represent their country against athletes from Sweden, Iceland and Norway. The England team is made up of athletes aiming for a spot in the European Under 20 and Under 23 Championships this summer.

Team Leader Katie Lambert said:

"Congratulations to all the selected throwers, along with their personal coaches and support teams. We’ve assembled a strong group of throwers who are eager to perform in what promises to be an exciting, inspiring, and exceptional event."

The competition, which features indoor javelin and discus events alongside the traditional shot put, offers a unique and rare challenge. It's crucial to provide our pathway throwers with international competitions and learning opportunities like this one.

"The experiences they gain as part of teams like this will equip them with the knowledge, skills, and experience needed for future age group and senior championships."
