Qualifiying B Standard: 63.50s
The first shock came when Mihaela Melinte, the world record holder, and co-favourite, was marched off the field before the qualifying competition because of a doping violation. The other favourite, Kuzenkova led the qualifying by almost 3m with 70.60. Sosimenko led the final with her opening 67.95 until the third round. Skolimowska then broke her world junior record (70.66) with 71.16. Kuzenkova responded with 69.64 and 69.77, but could never get on terms with the 17 year-old Pole. Both Münchow (69.28) and Moreno (68.33) went ahead of Sosimenko in the 5th round. The athletics world was shocked when, in February 2009, Skolimowska died suddenly from a pulmonary embolism at the age of 26.
