world Women Discus Throw History. Venue: 32 competitors from 20 nations.

Qualifiying A Standard: 61.00m. Qualifiying B Standard: 58.00m.

In an event where longevity is the norm, five of the top eight in Sydney repeated from Atlanta, with just one (Vizaniari) taking the same position as in 1996. The most venerable of all was Zvereva, who had placed fifth back in 1988. On this occasion she dominated the competition, as her worst of four measured throws was good enough to take gold. Having settled matters with her opening throw of 67.00, she improved to 68.40 two rounds later. Her winning margin of 2.69m was one of the greatest in Olympic history (Ponomaryova 4.34 in 1952, Wyludda 3.18 in 1996). Kelesídou’s opening effort of 65.71 held up for second place ahead of Yatchenko, who went ahead of Sadova with her 5th throw. The winner, aged 39 years 316 days, became the oldest-ever.
