Zybina had broken the world record with 15.19 in a domestic meeting
in Vyborg four weeks before the Games, though Tyshkevich was con-
sidered favourite after a better-publicised effort of 14.94. Zybina set
out her stall immediately with 15.00 to lead from the 14.42 efforts by
Tochonova and the huge (1.73/116kg) Tyshkevich. The positions
remained the same until the final round, when Werner moved from
fourth to second with her 14.57, and Zybina more than confirmed her
15.19 with a world record of 15.28.
