world Women Discus Throw History

Venue: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum 93,607.
17 competitors from 14 nations.
Qualification
Stalman was favourite to win, and she went to the front in round 1 with 64.50. The surprise occurred in round 5 when Deniz threw close to her US record with 64.86 to move ahead. Stalman reacted well, launching the winning throw in the last round. To put the event in perspective, the “Druzhba” meeting in Prague saw Meszynski (GDR) throw a world record 73.36, as seven throwers threw beyond 66m. In January 2016 on the Dutch television programme “Andere Tijden Sport” (Other Times Sports), Stalman admitted to taking steroids at the time of her career when she won Olympic gold. Referring to Eastern European women who were throwing fifteen metres further, she said “If you can not beat them, join them. And I did... I could do it without risk during training because there were no out- of-competition controls.”
