What mark won Leonardo Fabbri the men’s shot put at Birmingham 2026?

Leonardo Fabbri won the men’s shot put at Birmingham 2026 with a throw of 22.31 metres.

The Italian successfully defended his European outdoor title, having also won the event at the 2024 championships in Rome. His winning mark came in a high-level contest that included fellow Italian Zane Weir and other leading European throwers.

Shot put is decided by the longest legal throw, with athletes launching a heavy metal shot from a circular throwing area. Men’s senior competition uses a 7.26-kilogram shot. A throw counts only if the athlete remains within the rules of the circle and exits from the rear half after the implement lands.

Fabbri has been one of Italy’s leading shot putters in the modern era. His Birmingham victory made him a consecutive European champion outdoors, while the event’s winning mark was distinct from Jessica Schilder’s women’s shot-put result.
