2014 Throwing Sports Tournament

The 2014 Throwing Sports Tournament was an IWO-wide tournament for throwing sports, held in early December 2014 in Swantown in Brunant. The tournament was conceived after most of the 2013 IWO Games was cancelled, including the throwing sports. De Arien were the main sponsors of the tournament.

De Arien have stated that it is possible the Throwing Sports Tournament will become a regular, possibly biannual event, depending on whether or not the IWO Games are held again.

Venue
Three towns applied to hold the tournament, Koningstad, Middleton and Swantown. The venue was established in June 2014 through a vote from the organising council, which included 25 De Arien members and sports officials. In the first round of voting, Koningstad had the lead but none of the three venues had the requisite majority of support, as Koningstad received 10 votes, Swantown 8 and Middleton 7. For the second round, Middleton was eliminated, as it had received the fewest votes. In the second round, Swantown surprisingly won the hosting, with 14 votes to Koningstad's 11.

Events
Eight events were held: discus throw, hammer throw, javelin throw and shot put, for men and women each.
