In an event notable for surprises, Trine Hattestad was a model of con- sistency. After early career failures in the 1980s, and one Olympic medal in four attempts, she had won two world titles, and become world record holder with the new specification javelin introduced at the beginning of the pre-Olympic year. The qualifying was led by Menéndez with 67.34, with Nerius (65.76) and Hattestad (65.44) also producing big throws. Hattestad settled things early in the final, booming the 6th throw of the competition out to 68.91, the second-furthest of all-time. Menéndez had preceded the Norwegian with 66.03, and was overtaken for silver in the third round by World Champion Tzelíli, who moved into third on the all-time list with 67.51, a throw which she emulated in the 6th round. Menéndez showed good competitive fire with her final throw of 66.18, and in all produced four throws ahead of fourth place Nerius’s 64.84.
