Deal led the qualifiers with 78.56, but after three rounds of the final was in ninth place on 76.94, with Enrico Sgrulletti (ITA) eighth with the same distance. Under the rules (as in the 1968 long jump) a tie in distance after three rounds meant that nine took three more attempts rather than eight, giving Deal a cat-like “ninth” life. The lead was held at that point by Balász Kiss, the 24 year-old US based Hungarian, who started with 79.28 and improved to 80.50 and then 81.24. Behind him was the relatively small (1.86/95kg) Ukrainian, Skvaruk, with 79.92, his teammate Krykun on 79.44, and big German veteran Heinz Weis (79.30). No-one improved until the last round, when Deal finally connected with a good throw and the hammer sailed out to 81.12. Konovalov, the bespectacled Russian, threw 78.72 to pass Igor Astapkovich (78.20), Weis passed Krykun with 79.78, and Krykun replied with 80.02 to overtake Weis and Skvaruk for the bronze medal.
