world Women Discus Throw History

Venue: Estadi Olímpic de Montjuïc 67,007.
28 competitors from 16 nations.
World Record: 76.80m Gabriele Reinsch, East Germany, Neubrandenburg, East Germany, July 9, 1988
Olympic Record: 72.30m Martina Hellmann, Seoul, South Korea, September 29, 1988
The biggest surprise of the qualifying was the failure of reigning cham- pion Hellmann, who reached 60.52 and missed the final by 36cm. Four of the finalists had reached 70m during the season, with Martén the most recent at that level with two such efforts in Spain just before the Games. The Cuban led after the first round with 65.66, but was over- taken in the next round by Bulgarian veteran Khristova, World Champion in 1991 and European champion nine years earlier, who reached 67.78. The Bulgarian would have only one more valid throw, but held the lead for three more rounds. In the interim Germany’s Wyludda, one of the 70m throwers, could reach only 62.16 for ninth place. Costian, the former Romanian, moved past Korotkevich (65.52) in the fifth round with 66.24, and two throws later Martén stepped up and the stocky (1.72/92kg) yet athletic Cuban spun quickly and sent the discus out to 70.06 for the gold.
