world Women Javelin Throw History

Venue: Centennial Olympic Stadium, Seoul 69,950.
29 competitors from 18 nations.
Felke became the only woman in history to throw 80m when she reached that exact distance less than three weeks before Seoul. She trailed her great rival Whitbread in the qualifying round 68.44 to 67.06, as the list of non-qualifiers included ’84 medallists Sanderson and Lillak, as well as Verouli and Solberg. Felke settled the matter of the gold medal quickly in the final with the first Olympic 70m throw – 72.62 – to overtake Koch’s 67.30. Whitbread then threw 67.46 in the second round with Kostyuchenkova reaching 67.00 later that round to solidify the first four places. Felke followed the Ukrainian with the winning throw of 74.68, which was the last improvement of the top four, until Whitbread’s final two throws of 67.82 and 70.32.
