doping

An athlete was also convicted of doping abuse in the discus . The result of Belarusian Iryna Jattschanka , who was initially ninth , was canceled , as was her third place at the 2004 Olympic Games .

The victim of this doping fraud was primarily the Austrian Veronika Watzek , who had acquired the right to participate in the final in the qualification as the actual twelfth - she was not allowed to be there because she was initially classified as thirteenth because of the doping fraud that had not yet been punished.

final

August 10, 2006, 7:30 p.m.

The list of participants showed some female throwers with years of experience. The Belarusian Iryna Jattschanka (40 years old), who was subsequently disqualified for violating the doping regulations, and the sixth-placed Belarusian Elina Swerava (45 years old) had both been in the ring at the 1990 European Championships for the Soviet Union. The German Franka Dietzsch (38 years old) and the Romanian Nicoleta Grasu (34 years old) reached the winners' podium as in 1998 . Franka Dietzsch went into the competition as the world's best of the year, but did not quite live up to her role. The 21-year-old winner Darja Pishchalnikova - she achieved a personal best - has been successful since 2001 when she became European youth champion and vice world champion.

The eighth-placed Serbian Dragana Tomašević set a new national record in qualification with 63.63 m. In the final she was more than three meters behind this distance and came in eighth place.
