world Women Discus Throw History

Venue: Athens Olympic Stadium, Marousi. Capp.: 72,000.
Quota: 42 competitors from 28 nations.
The only country with more than one finalist was Greece, and all three of their athletes qualified. Vóggoli, the Greek Champion, and Sadova were the slight favourites. It was Sadova who led the field after the first round, with 64.79. Cechlová took the lead in round two with 66.08, but was overtaken in the next stanza by Ukraine’s Irina Yatchenko (66.17) and Kelesídou (66.68) to the delight of the home crowd. Sadova went from fourth to first in the penultimate round with 67.02, and backed it up with her final cast of 66.68. Each of the medallists had been medal winners previously, Sadova in 1996, while Kelesídou and Yatchenko had occupied the same positions in 2000. It was only after the Games that it was revealed Sadova was to be stripped of her other global title – the 2001 World Championship gold – because of a positive test for caffeine. Then in 2006 she was caught again and suspended for two years. The second doping postscript came when a re-analysis of the sample of Yatchenko revealed a banned sub- stance. The sample had been frozen in 2004 and in 2012 subjected to analytical methods which were not available in 2004. The IOC stripped her of her bronze medal in December 2012 and later upgraded all those below her. Věra Cechlová (née Pospíšilová) (CZE) was the main beni- ficiary and received her bronze medal in August 2013. “The medal is as precious for me as if I had won it at the stadium,” she said.
