world Women Discus Throw History

Venue: Olympiastadion, Charlottenburg, Berlin. Capp.: 100,000.
19 competitors from 10 nations.
Wajs, the World Games Champion in 1934, had seen her world record broken 11 times by Mauermayer in 1935-36, with the German taking the record from 44.19 to 48.31. The last of these came in Berlin at the German Championships just three weeks before the Olympics. Mauermayer followed Wajs’s opening throw of 44.69 with the win- ning effort of 47.63. Wajs reacted well, throwing 46.22, the longest competitive throw of her career, to place an excellent second, more than 6m clear of third place. Mauermayer was deemed the perfect example of Aryan womanhood, and her Nazi connections meant that she lost her teaching job after the war.
