world Women Discus Throw History

Venue: Empire Stadium, Wembley.
Competitors: 21; Countries: 11
Ostermeyer only learned how to throw the discus in 1948, and placed second in her national championship behind Mazéas, three weeks before the Olympics. The athletic (1.79/73kg) Ostermeyer began with 40.45, and won from Gentile with her final throw. Ostermeyer was a concert pianist, who managed to combine sport and art closely; on the day she qualified for the Olympic team in Bordeaux she gave a concert. To put her win in perspective it should be noted that Nina Dumbadze set a world record of 53.25 eight days after the Olympic event, and had 12 competitions beyond the best of anyone else in 1948.
