world Women Discus Throw History

Venue: Olympic Stadium, Tokyo. Capp.: 57,363 (48,000 seats).
21 competitors from 16 nations.
Press was again the favourite, though Ponomaryova was there to defend her title. This time Press was not to be denied; she had the top- six pre-Olympic performances, but trailed Lotz, who produced a German record and moved to second place on the world all-time list with her opening throw of 57.21. Press was placed only fourth until the penultimate round when she finally connected with a good throw and reached 57.27 to take the gold medal. Lia Manoliu produced two throws of more than 56m, and overtook Angelova in the fifth round. The range of just 57cm between first and fourth made it the closest Olympic discus in history. Ponomaryova was a below-par 11th with 52.48.
