Press, the European Champion, was favoured to win from Ponomaryova, but the 1952 winner showed her competitive abilities, taking the lead in round 2 from Manoliu by 6cm with 52.42. She then improved to 53.39 in the next round, before launching the winner – 55.10 – in the fifth. Press moved past Manoliu with her final effort of 52.59, but was even then outshone by Ponomaryova, who reached 54.42 with her sixth round throw. Ponomaryova became the first woman to regain an Olympic title with her Rome win.
