final
August 13, 2006, 2:35 pm
Barbora Špotáková and Steffi Nerius were already clearly superior to all other participants in the qualification. The Czech had even set a new national record with 66.12 m. In the final, the Czech took the lead straight away, but couldn't improve. Nerius took the lead in the fifth round and won her first gold medal with her season best in her third final. The battle for the bronze medal was just as exciting, surprisingly won by the Spaniard Mercedes Chilla. She also threw her season best and was the first Spanish woman ever to win a medal in a throwing discipline.
