Venue: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum 100,000.
9 competitors from 4 nations.
Osborn led throughout the competition with her opening throw of 40.12, until the final round. Copeland wound up, and, throwing from a standing position rather than spinning as all the other throwers were doing, hurled the discus out to 40.58 to win. Wajs won the bronze on the first of three appearances in Olympic finals over a period of 16 years.
