Edition 2nd Meetings 9 | Dates 8 May–13 September | |
The 2011 IAAF Hammer Throw Challenge was the second edition of the annual, global series of hammer throw competitions organised by the International Association of Athletics Federations. The winners were Krisztián Pars of Hungary (239.03 metres) and Betty Heidler of Germany (228.09 metres). Heidler retained her title from 2010, making her the first athlete to win the series twice. Both the final scores were records for the challenge.
