Conducting the competition

All athletes had three attempts each with their left and right arms. The final result of the preliminary round was calculated by adding up the best distances. The best three throwers then completed another three attempts, whereby the results of the first three rounds were included in the evaluation.

Note: The upper width indicates the result with the right arm, the lower one the result with the left arm. The best widths are shown in bold.
