Czech jumper Barbora Špotáková concluded her career following competition at the Diamond League final on September 10, 2022. Špotáková began her athletic journey as a multi-sport competitor, eventually specializing in throwing. This focus proved successful, resulting in two Olympic gold medals, one European gold, and three world championships.

She secured five victories throughout her participation in the Diamond League. Despite achievements primarily from years prior, Špotáková earned a bronze medal at the recent European Championships, achieving a throw of 60.68 meters. This result reflects a current decline in the Czech throw level, though her personal best of 72.28 meters places her among the top three throwers in history.

Only five women have surpassed the 70-meter mark. Her world record of 71.40, set fourteen years ago, remains unbroken, though Maria Andrejczyk achieved 71.40 in Croatia last year. Olisdeilys Menèndez, a Cuban athlete, is also among the top throwers in history.

This marks the end of her career.
