world Women Javelin Throw History

Venue: Stadio Olimpico, Roma. 65,000. 20 competitors from -- nations.
Qualification
Ozoliņa had topped the 1959 world lists, but improved to produce the four best ever throws in 1960. She opened with 55.98, the winning effort, and had a further throw of 54.80, also good enough to take gold. Behind her Zátopková confirmed herself as the most consistent thrower of the 1950-60 era by winning her second Olympic medal to add to her European titles of ’54 and ’58. She edged Kalėdienė by 33cm and became the then oldest ever women’s Olympic athletics medallist at 37 years 348 days. In seventh place was Platt, whose surprising third round throw was in the region of 54m, but was erroneously ruled a foul by an over-zeal- ous official who misunderstood her moving forward around the foul line to check the distance after the throw had landed.
