doping

There were three doping cases in total in this discipline:

  • The Belarusian Iwan Zichan was excluded from participation before the start, after positive tests had already been announced before the games.
  • The Belarusian Pavel Kryvitski, who was eliminated in the qualification, was subsequently disqualified by the IOC . During follow-up examinations of his doping test, the prohibited substances dehydrochloromethyltestosterone and stanozolol were found .
  • The Russian Kirill Ikonnikow, who was initially fifth in the final, was also subsequently disqualified by the IOC for doping abuse. During follow-up examinations of his doping test, the prohibited substance dehydrochloromethyltestosterone was detected. Through him, the Norwegian Eivind Henriksen was deprived of the final. In addition, the American Kibwe Johnson was denied three more throws, which would have allowed him to finish in eighth place.

qualification

The qualification was carried out in two groups. The qualification width was 78.00 m. Since only three athletes exceeded this distance (highlighted in light blue), the final field was filled with the next best athletes from both groups to twelve throwers (highlighted in light green). Of them, however, only eleven made it into the final ranking, as one of them - the Russian Kirill Ikonnikov - was convicted of doping abuse. Finally, 74.69 m had to be achieved to take part in the finals.

final

August 5, 2012, 8:20 pm

Twelve athletes from twelve nations qualified for the final, three of them via the qualification distance, nine more via their placements in the qualification. The Russian Kirill Ikonnikow was subsequently disqualified for proven doping abuse, so that only eleven finalists made it into the final ranking.

The reigning European champion Krisztián Pars from Hungary was considered the favorite . His actual challenger Iwan Zichan from Belarus had been removed from the qualifying start list. A follow-up examination of doping samples from the 2004 Athens Games in spring 2012 revealed anabolic steroids in Zichan's sample . The Belarusian association then withdrew Zichan's report. This left the Japanese world champion and Olympic champion from 2004 Kōji Murofushi and the Slovenian Olympic champion from 2008 Primož Kozmus as the strongest competitors .

In the first lap, Pars took the lead with 79.14 m. He was followed by Kozmus with 78.79 m. In the second attempt, the Ukrainian Oleksij Sokyrskyj moved up to third place with 78.25 m and Murofushi moved up to fourth place with 78.16 m. In the third round, Pars was able to improve to 80.59 m, Murofushi moved past Sokyrskyj to third with 78.71 m. In the fifth attempt Kozmus reached 79.36 m, there were no more changes. Krisztián Pars won the gold medal from his predecessor Primož Kozmus and the 2004 winner Kōji Murofushi. Oleksij Sokyrskyj was fifth ahead of the Czech Lukáš Melich.
