At 37 years 298 days, Irina Yatchenko became the oldest female World Champion apart from her compatriot Zvereva. She did so with her first throw of 67.32 which remained the longest of the day though Kelesídou came close with 67.13 in the third then 67.14 in the sixth. Greece won the other medal thanks to Vóggoli, who threw a personal best of 66.73 in the fourth round. “I liked the circle a lot,” said the winner, “as I prefer the surface hard and slow.” At this point, Belarus had won all of the three throws finals staged so far in Paris.
