world Men Hammer Throw History

Venue: Athens Olympic Stadium, Marousi. Capp.: 72,000.
Quota: 35 competitors from 24 nations.
The pundits were split on the identity of the likely winner, between 2003 World Champion Ivan Tikhon (BLR), European Champion Adrian Annus (HUN), and Japan’s statuesque Murofushi, the number three thrower of all-time (84.86 in 2003). Tikhon led the qualifiers with 80.78, from Pars (80.50), as five exceeded 78.00, the qualifying dis- tance. Annus was the first in the final to beat 80m, with 80.53, but the lead passed to Murofushi with the next throw – 81.16. Annus took the lead in the second round with 82.32, and increased the lead to 83.19. Murofushi responded with two throws over 82m, but Annus appeared to have won the day. Tikhon, looking heavier and slower than in 2003, began with two fouls, and eventually won bronze from the surprising Apak by 30cm. The Hungarian winner took two doping tests after the event. Both were negative, but analysis showed that the samples came from more than one person. Annus refused to take a test back in Hungary, and was quickly stripped of his title. Murofushi received his gold medal one month later at a ceremony in Yokohama. Tikhon (aka Tsikhan), who in the meantime had won, lost and regained a bronze medal in 2008 (see report for that year), was ultimate- ly stripped of his Athens silver. A re-test of his sample from August 23, 2004 revealed a prohibited substance. The placings above have been adjusted logically, but as at June 10, 2016 the IOC have not publicly con- firmed the upgrading of Apak and Devyatovskiy to silver and bronze.
