The contenders for the other medals included the vice world champion from 2013 and vice European champion from 2014 Mélina Robert-Michon, the three German throwers Nadine Müller - vice world champion 2011 / vice European champion 2012 / Olympic champion 2012, Shanice Craft - EC third 2014 - and Julia Fischer - EC -Fifth 2012/2014.
