Competitors: 16; Countries: 9
The two Germanies laid claim to the world record in 1968 in the shape of Spielberg and Westermann, but both were vulnerable before the Games, with Manoliu having the best competitive record. The Romanian, in her fifth Olympics, won the gold medal with her first throw, and only Westermann, with her second round throw, was able to get within 3m. Berendonk later became well known in Germany for her 1991 book “Doping. Von der Forschung zum Betrug” about systematic doping violations in the GDR.
