World Athletics Continental Tour Silver, Bronze and Challenger Meetings

Reigning and past European champions Julian Weber, Malaika Mihambo and Gesa-Felicitas Krause are all due to compete at the International Pfingstsportfest Rehlingen, a World Athletics Continental Tour Silver meeting, on Sunday 19 May.
The International Pfingstsportfest Rehlingen will be streamed live on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@EuropeanAthletics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">European Athletics YouTube channel</a>. More live streaming information for the 2024 World Athletics Continental Tour Silver and Bronze events in Europe will be announced in early May.&nbsp;

<h2 dir="ltr">Reigning European javelin champion on the road to Rome</h2>
Julian Weber will defend his European javelin title at the Roma 2024 European Athletics Championships from 7-12 June and the reigning champion will be looking to replicate his performance from last year&rsquo;s meeting on the road to Rome this summer. Weber won at last year&rsquo;s meeting with a season&rsquo;s best of 88.37m, the fourth longest throw of his career.&nbsp;
By contrast, Gesa Felicitas Krause missed out on a chance to win a third European 3000m steeplechase title in Munich 2022 due to illness but the two-time European champion is back on the comeback trail. However, Krause will be looking to sharpen up in the 1500m rather than contest her specialist event in Rehlingen.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Similarly, reigning Olympic long jump champion and 2018 European champion Malaika Mihambo will lace up her spikes in the 100m instead.&nbsp;
Elsewhere, Robert Farken is also confirmed for the men&rsquo;s 1500m. Farken won at this meeting last year in a lifetime best and meeting record of 3:32.10.&nbsp;
