Spotakova back in Monaco!

Špotáková is back in Monaco: Herculis announces its second Ambassador – IAAF Diamond League 21 May 2010 – Monaco – Herculis is proud to announce that last year’s women’s Javelin Throw winner Barbora Špotáková of the Czech Republic will be back at Louis II Stadium on Thursday 22 July for this year’s event which is part of the 14 meeting IAAF Diamond League. Barbora Špotáková, who is one of the 14 athletes who are IAAF Diamond League Ambassadors, took the 2009 IAAF World Championships silver medal in Berlin last summer. Špotáková has already won almost everything in the world of athletics with her Olympic title from Beijing in 2008, her World title from Osaka in 2007, and she is currently the World record holder thanks to her 72.28m set in 2008. The only title missing to make this collection complete is the continental one, and no doubt the Herculis IAAF Diamond League which is the last meet before the start of the 2010 European Championships in Barcelona will be the best preparation for her. Špotáková will have in her mind the aim of breaking the meeting record of 67.20m set by Tatyana Shikolenko back in 2000, such an achievement would be the ideal way to conclude her preparations as she aims to complete her set of championship golds.
