Melnik was described by Track and Field News as “a certainty”. She took the lead in round 1 with 64.48, only to be passed by the opening throws of Hinzmann (66.68) and Schlaak, whose 69.00 was a GDR record and moved her to third on the all-time list. Melnik improved to 65.42 and finally 66.40 in round 4, but had slipped out of the medals after Vergova threw 67.30 in the second round. Melnik’s fifth-round throw of 68.60 brought her up to second, but it was later ruled illegal because Melnik had twice restarted that effort. The high standard was emphasised by Menis’s 65.38 for sixth place, which was further than she threw for silver in 1972. Danuta Rosani (POL) reached the final but was disqualified after failing a doping test - used anabolic steroids; it was the first such disqualification in Olympic athletics.
