Big Shot makes a comeback during Stockholm BAUHAUS Athletics week

The Stockholm meeting organisers were one of the first to take athletics out of the stadium when they arranged a successful shot put competition in Kungsträdgården city square and many international athletics organisers have since followed Stockholm’s lead and held the event in popular city centre locations. After a short break the Big Shot will make a comeback to Kungsträdgården on Wednesday 29 July, and will be one more event to feature during the week of the Stockholm BAUHAUS Athletics Diamond League meeting.
