Themen'shammer throw at the2015 World Championships in Athletics was held at theBeijing National Stadium on 22 and 23 August.^[1][2]

Returning champion and current world leaderPaweł Fajdek looked to be the favorite. In the first round it wasDavid Söderberg who took the lead. The second round sawDilshod Nazarov andSergej Litvinov get off 77 metre throws to take the top two spots. Then in the third round, Fajdek let out 80.64 and calmly walked out of the ring. Nobody else could get in that range, but Fajdek launched 80.88 on his next throw for the win. Nazarov got off a 78.55 in the fifth round to move into second, but that was matched exactly byWojciech Nowicki on his final throw. With an exact tie for the silver medal, the second best throw became the tiebreaker, Nazarov's 78.06 in the fourth round being superior to Nowicki's third round 77.20.^[3]
