The qualifying was led by Brown Trafton with 62.77, but Grasu (62.51) and Barrios (62.23) were more highly regarded as medal prospects, particularly after defending champion Sadova (58.11) failed to qualify. The 1988 finalist Zvereva opened the final with 60.43, which led until Brown Trafton launched her first throw to 64.74. No Olympic dis- cus title had been won with a throw lesser than 65m since 1968, but Brown Trafton’s effort would hold up against all assaults. Barrios, with 63.17 and 63.64 would be the closest. The first American female Olympic discus throw champion since 1932 reflected “my goal was to come to the Bird’s Nest to lay a golden egg, and that’s what I did.”
