Petkova improved upon her Montreal 67.30 with 67.68 in the opening round to lead the final from Udo Beyer’s younger sister Gisela, who threw 67.08. Jahl, the reigning champion, justified her role of favourite with 69.76 in the second round. It was the first of four successive throws beyond the best of anyone else, which was 67.90 by Petkova in the last round. Lesovaya was close to the Bulgarian with her fifth round 67.40. Jahl’s best throw came in the third round, but her superiority was absolute; her six throws averaged 68.24.
