Fuchs improved her own world record to 69.12 just before leaving for Montreal, and made no mistake by producing the gold medal throw with her opening effort. Becker had set a national record in leading the qualifiers with 65.14, and confirmed this with 64.70 in the third round, to take silver ahead of Schmidt. The American flirted with disaster, reaching 59.70 after two foul throws, and saved her best of 63.96 till the last round. So did ’72 silver medallist Todten who almost beat Schmidt with 63.84.
