world Women Shot Put History

Venue: Olympic Stadium, Seoul 69,950.

25 competitors from 14 nations.

In defence of her title Losch led the qualifiers with 20.39, but Lisovskaya – undefeated since 1986 – was favourite, and she dominat- ed the event in a Slupianek-like way. Her first throw of 21.69 won the gold medal, and her six throws averaged 21.58, well in advance of the 21.07 and 21.06 thrown by the other medallists, Neimke and Li. Only Slupianek’s 22.41 in Moscow was better in any international champi- onship of the 20th century. Lisovskaya later married double hammer champion Yuriy Sedykh.
