Date	13 – 14 August 2016
Status	Olympic
Location	Estádio Olímpico João Havelange, Engenho de Dentro, Rio de Janeiro
Participants	37 from 25 countries

The heavy favorite was Colombian Caterine Ibargüen, who was the 2013 and 2015 World Champion and had won 34 consecutive meets until losing in a Diamond League meet in June 2016. In the final, the lead in round one was taken by Kazakh Olga Rypakova with 14.73, with Ibargüen in third with 14.65, also trailing American Keturah Orji at 14.71. Ibargüen bounded 15.03 in round two and the event was over, as nobody would better that mark. She improved to 15.17 in round four, the gold medal winning mark. Ibargüen’s gold medal was added to her London Olympic silver.

Venezuelan Yulimar Rojás had moved into third in round three with 14.87, and improved again in round four with 14.98, to take the silver medal. Rypakova slightly improved in round five with 14.74 to take bronze.
