The Soviet Union was in the middle of disintegrating during 1992, with only the Baltic countries fully seceded from the USSR by the time of Barcelona. Romas Ubartas had been the top thrower of 1991 but had missed the World Championships, preferring to wait a year to compete for Lithuania rather than represent the USSR again. Ubartas led the qualifiers with 66.08, but had to wait until round 3 of the final before overtaking Schult’s 64.26 by 10cm. Schult regained the lead in the penultimate round with 64.94, only for Ubartas to respond immediately with 65.12. Roberto Moya was the surprise bronze medallist, having thrown 64.12 in the opening round. A bigger surprise was that World Champion Lars Riedel and Ubartas’s experienced countryman Vaclavas Kidykas each failed to qualify.
