The three Russians topped the pre-Olympic lists ahead of Zátopková. The Czech had married Emil Zátopek in 1949, and shared two strong ties – both were born on the same day (September 19, 1922), and both won Olympic gold medals on July 24, 1952. After Chudina led the qualifiers with 46.23, Zátopková opened in the final with her winning throw, a personal best of 50.47. The three Russians filled the next three positions, with Chudina, the finest multi-events athlete of the 1950s, moving from bronze medal position to second place with her final throw of 50.01. Finland’s greatest thrower Matti Järvinen stated after the event that Zátopková was the best technician of the event on view at the Helsinki Games.
