Only one athlete had achieved 66m in 2004, Menéndez, who had thrown this distance six times. She threw 64.91 to lead 11 qualifiers past the required 61m, with Bicet (60.97) taking the final place ahead of Finland’s Mihaela Ingberg (60.80), who achieved the furthest non- qualifying mark ever. Four throwers had managed 62+ in the first round of the final before Menéndez threw. The spear flew out to 71.53, just one centimetre short of her three year-old world record. The competition was effectively ended, though the Cuban did produce another throw (68.60) easily good enough to take the gold medal. Brejchová was holding second place with 64.23 until the last round, when German veteran Nerius (65.82) and Manjani (64.29) went past. Four Caribbean athletes fea- tured in the top seven: three Cubans and Laverne Eve, who had won the Pan American Junior Shot title 20 years earlier!
