_ Men Discus Throw History

Olympic 1996 Men Discus Throw

August 11, 1995 was a good day for repeating world champions. Sergey Bubka won a fifth pole vault title, Moses Kiptanui a third steeplechase gold, Michael Johnson regained his 200m title and Lars Riedel won a hat-trick of discus titles.
The giant German had more trouble in the qualifying rounds than the final, because he needed all three throws. In the final he led from the first round and set a championship record of 68.76 in the second. This was then the second longest throw ever at a major championship.
The order of the other medallists changed in each of the last three rounds. Horváth was the unlucky one, slipping from second to fourth behind two throwers from Belarus.
