final

Olympic champion Ilke Wyludda from Germany

July 29, 1996, 6:45 p.m.

Twelve athletes had qualified for the final. All of them had exceeded the required qualification range. Three Germans, two Russians and two Belarusians met one participant each from Australia, China, Norway, Portugal and Romania.

There were two favorites for this competition: the reigning world champion and vice European champion Elina Swerawa from Belarus and the German European champion and vice world champion Ilke Wyludda. Other promising candidates for top places were the two Russians Olga Tschernjawskaja, WM -Third, and Natalia Sadowa, WM -Fünfte, as well as the Cuban Olympic champion from 1992 Maritza Marten, WM -Vierte, but more is not the great form of Games of Barcelona had and already retired in the qualification.

Wyludda achieved a very good 68.02 m in the first attempt, taking the lead. Behind her were the Russian Olga Tschernjawskaja with 64.70 m and the German Franka Dietzsch with 64.22 m. Swerawa followed with 63.96 m. Wyludda extended her lead in the second round to 69.66 m. The Russian Natalja Sadowa threw 65.66 m and moved up to second place. Swerawa rose to 65.64 m and was in third place. Dietzsch also improved to 65.48 m, so she was fourth, while Tschernjawskaja fell back to fifth.

Only in the fourth attempt could Sadowa improve again. You reach 66.48 m, but that didn't change the classification. In the last two test series there were no more shifts in the first four places. Ilke Wyludda was so dominant that she would have become Olympic champion with each of her five valid attempts. Natalja Sadowa won the silver medal ahead of Elina Swerava. Franka Dietzsch was fourth, the Chinese Xiao Yanling fifth. Olga Tschernjawskaja finished sixth in the end.
