Discus Throw, Women

Date	2 – 3 August 1992
Status	Olympic
Location	Estadio Olímpico de Montjuïc, Barcelona
Participants	28 from 16 countries

Ilke Wyludda (GER) was slightly favored in this event. She had won the 1990 European Championships and was dominant from 1988-91, when she was upset at the 1991 World Championships by Bulgaria’s Tsvetanka Hristova. Wyludda would never factor and finished only ninth at Barcelona. Cuba’s Maritza Martén, 1987 Pan-American Champion, took the lead in round one with 65.66 (215-5), but Hristova took over in round two with 67.78 (222-4½). In the fifth round, Martén got off 70.06 (229-10¼) to win the gold medal.

In 1993, Hristova tested positive for steroids and was banned from competition for four years, effectively ending her career.
