The original gold medalist, Tatyana Lysenko of Russia, was stripped of her gold medal after failing drugs tests. Medals were reallocated.
The lead changed twice in the first round of the final before World Champion Lysenko threw an Olympic record of 77.56. Włodarczyk and Zhang reached 76.02 and 76.34 respectively in round two, and the fast-spinning Klaas moved into third in round three with 76.05. Round five proved to be eventful. Heidler apparently reached 77.12, but because Lysenko had thrown the same distance with the preceding throw, the German’s mark was wrongly perceived to be an error of duplication. The German was initially wrongly credited with a mark of 72.34, which in fact was that of the following thrower of Marghieva. The German protested and was given an extra attempt, which she unfortunately fouled. With her own fifth effort, Lysenko produced the winning mark of 78.18, while Włodarczyk moved into second place with her final throw of 77.60. Two throws later Zhang fouled, but at that point felt her 76.34 was good enough for the bronze. She, with Lysenko and Włodarczyk, embarked on a victory lap. Meanwhile Heidler calmly continued her remonstrations. Finally it was confirmed that her fifth effort was legitimate, meaning that she was not eighth as originally listed, but third with Zhang fourth. The Chinese appealed unsuccessfully on the grounds that Zhang had been disadvantaged by wrongly thinking she was in a medal position before her final effort. “They were all very nice and tried very hard,” said the gracious Heidler of the infield judges who dealt with her protestations. Less happy was Moldova’s Zalina Margheiva. Originally eighth at 74.06, she was disqualified in 2013 following the re-analysis of an in-compe- tition doping sample of hers from 2009.
