Summary

edit

Olympic gold medalist Sara Kolak's second throw took the lead at 64.95 metres. Her lead lasted only two throws before world record holder, at age 36, Barbora Špotáková threw 66.76 m (219 ft 0 in), which turned out to be the winner. These were two of six throwers who achieved their best distance in the second round. Li Lingwei's personal best 66.25 metres near the end of the third round put her in second place. After improving her own Asian record by almost a metre and a half to 67.59 m (221 ft 9 in), to move to #11 of all time, in her only throw of the qualifying round, Lü Huihui barely qualified into the final round in seventh place. With the benefit of those three extra throws, Lü threw a 65.26m in the fifth round to take the bronze medal from Kolak. She was the only competitor to improve her position in the final three throws.
