Kumbernuss had won 37 successive competitions prior to Atlanta and her qualifying throw of 19.93 was more than half a metre ahead of any- one else. She repeated the dose two days later with her first round throw of 20.56. Only Sui’s third round throw of 19.88 was within a metre of Kumbernuss’s best. The German had only two other fair throws, the latter of which was 20.47. Khudorozhkina’s opening throw of 19.35 was good enough to hold off Pavlysh (19.30) and Price-Smith (19.22) for the bronze.
