Berlin: Špotáková Takes Javelin Silver

World record-holder Barbora Špotáková now has a silver medal to go with the gold ones she won over the last two years.

The former University of Minnesota heptathlete, who won the Olympic gold medal in Beijing and a World Championships gold in Osaka in 2007, finished second in yesterday's women's javelin competition at the World Track and Field Championships in Berlin.

The Czech national threw 217-11 to finish runner-up to Germany's Steffi Nerius who marked a season-best 220-9 for victory.
