Fuchs was expected to win her third title in succession, having improved her world record to 69.96 earlier in the season. Although placing second in the qualifying with 64.26 behind teammate Richter’s 66.66, Fuchs was never in the hunt for medals in the final. The British hope – Tessa Sanderson – was unable to throw beyond 48.76 in the pre- liminary round. On the second throw of the final, Saida Gunba set the pace with 66.08, only to see Maria Caridad Colón achieve the gold medal with 68.40 just eight throws later. Gunba improved to 67.76 in the second round, and the two Utes – Hommola and Richter – produced three efforts beyond 66m between them. The standard was superb, with Vancheva and world record holder Biryulina (70.08 two weeks before the Games) also over 65m.
