Olympics 2024 hammer throw on TV: Channel, schedule, live stream
Your guide to hammer throw at the Olympic Games 2024, including TV coverage and schedule.
The hammer throw at the Paris Olympics this summer could be dominated by Canadian athletes in both the men's and women's competitions.
Ethan Katzberg, 22, is the favourite to take home gold. He's undefeated this year, and he's the current world champion after securing gold in Budapest last summer.

Katzberg will be hoping to beat Poland's Wojciech Nowicki, who won gold in Tokyo after taking home bronze in Rio. However, does the 35-year-old still have what it takes to fend off his younger rival?
In the women's competition, Camryn Rogers will also be hoping to take home the gold medal for Canada.
Like Katzberg, she won gold at the World Championships in Budapest, and she'll be confident of that success continuing in France this summer. Her main threat is the USA's DeAnna Price.

Team GB hammer throw at the Olympics 2024
Team GB don't have any live hopes in the hammer throw this year, so it's a case of sitting back and seeing whether Canada's Katzberg and Rogers will win gold as expected.
Katzberg threw 84.38m earlier this year, which would have been enough to win gold at Tokyo, with Nowicki's winning distance coming in at 82.52m.
Rogers won at the Diamond League with a throw of 77.76m, and she's won all but one of her outings in 2024.
