The winners were Krisztián Pars of Hungary (244.84 metres) and Anita Włodarczyk (232.52 metres) of Poland. This was Włodarczyk's second title, defending her win from the previous year, and a third career win for Pars (the 2011 and 2012 winner). Pars also regained the position of challenge record holder, improving on the total set by Paweł Fajdek in 2013. Włodarczyk was the stand out courtesy of her hammer throw world record of 79.58 at the ISTAF Berlin meet.Rowbottom, Mike (2015-01-02). 2014 IAAF World Challenge review. IAAF.
