Jakub Vadlejch earned 11 points for the Czech Republic in second place by throwing 79.88m.

Finland are in third position on 16 points.

Due to a reorganisation of the European Team Championships from 2021, the Super League is being streamlined to eight teams, meaning five of the 12 current nations will drop into the First League, replaced by just the winners of the second tier.

After two events Britain are bottom of the leaderboard on six points, while Switzerland, Sweden, Ukraine and Spain occupy the other relegation positions.

Competition continues tomorrow afternoon when 20 finals will be contested at the Zawisza Stadium.
