world Women Discus Throw History

Venue: Centennial Olympic Stadium, Atlanta. Capp.: 85,000.
39 competitors from 24 nations.
Two European titles and undefeated seasons in 1989-90 could not mask the fact that Wyludda had never fulfilled her potential at the global level. Her only Olympic appearance had been a lowly ninth in Barcelona and she had twice won world silvers after being the gold medal favourite. Atlanta made up for this, as she reached 66.78 in the qualifying, and then produced five throws in the final beyond the best of the opposition. Her opening throw of 68.02 effectively quelled the other throwers, and she then boomed the winner of 69.66 in the second round. Her winning margin of 3.18m was only 2cm less than the difference between second and seventh. Sadova was nevertheless a solid second, with four throws better than bronze medallist Zvereva.
