The favorite was the 1960 Olympic champion and world record holder Elvīra Ozoliņa. When her teammate Jelena Gorchakova became the first woman to surpass the 60-meter mark in qualification, Gorchakova was of course also one of the gold candidates.
Surprisingly, the youngest starter at 17, the Romanian Mihaela Peneș, took the lead in the first lap when she exceeded the 60-meter mark as the second woman, but could not endanger Gorchakova's world record. Gorchakova was in second place ahead of her compatriot Birutė Kalėdienė and the Hungarian Márta Rudas, who, like Peneș, did not count among the medal contenders. In the second round, Rudas even took second position with 58.27 m, displacing world record holder Gorchakova to third. Jelena Gorchakova rose in round four to 57.06 m, but the order of the medal ranks did not change until the end. Birutė Kalėdienė was fourth, the Olympic champion from Rome , Elvīra Ozoliņa, had to be content with fifth.
Mihaela Peneş made for the first Romanian Olympic victory in the women's javelin .
Márta Rudas won the first Hungarian medal in this discipline.
