Summary

The competition featured men's and women's contests in shot put, discus throw, javelin throw and hammer throw. In addition to the senior competitions, there were also under-23 events for younger athletes.[2][3]

Athletes in the senior competitions were seeded into "A" and "B" groups. Igor Sukhomlinov of Russia surprised with a personal best of 83.34 m in the javelin throw to win the title despite being seeded in the "B" group. Dzimitry Hancharuk, Chiara Rosa, Nataliya Semenova were other "B" group athletes to take a medal, each of them a bronze.

Two national records were broken during the competition: men's discus throw bronze medallist Ercüment Olgundeniz improved the Turkish record to 64.34 metres, while under-23 athlete Melik Janoyan set a new Armenian best for the javelin with his throw of 69.34 metres.

Several athletes went on to take top honours at the 2007 World Championships in Athletics. Discus winners Gerd Kanter and Franka Dietzsch became world champions, while the men's hammer throwers Primož Kozmus and Ivan Tsikhan took the top two spots in Osaka as they did in Yalta.
