2005 European Cup Winter Throwing
The 2005 European Cup Winter Throwing was held on 12 and 13 March at Macit Özcan Sports Complex in Mersin, Turkey.[1] It was the first time that the competition was held with the Cup name, changing from the European Winter Throwing Challenge moniker it had since its initial edition in 2001.Lada Chernova of Russia was the sole "B" seeded athlete to take a medal, finishing as runner-up in the women's javelin throw.Russia was easily the best performing nation of the tournament, taking the men's and women's titles on points and having the most medals, with three of each colour.Women's hammer bronze medallist Olga Kuzenkova was retrospectively found to be doping around 2004 to 2005, but due to limitations of retesting her disqualification was only for the period of August 2005 to 2007 and her mark in Mersin still stands.
