The qualifying round was led by Špotáková (66.19), with Obergföll
(66.14) and Viljoen (65.92) close behind. The major non-qualifiers were
European Champion Vira Rebryk (UKR) and Britain’s 66m thrower
Sayers, who was clearly injured. Špotáková effectively retained her title
with the first throw of the final (66.90), and only Obergföll with 65.16
was able to get reasonably near to the Czech’s distance. The biggest sur-
prise was World Champion Abakumova’s tenth place, her 59.34 being
nearly four metres down on her qualifying effort.
Špotáková emphasized her superiority with her fourth round throw
of 69.55, which raised a cautious smile of approval from her coach at
the time, Jan Železný. She finished with deliberate foot fouls of 61m
and 67m. Stahl overtook Viljoen for the bronze in round four.
