Summary[edit]

Throwing in the morning preliminary round, seven women got the big Q on their first attempt by exceeding 19.10m. The finals were held later that same evening. Maggie Ewen got off a 19.51m on her first attempt. There throws later, defending champion Chase Ealey launched a 20.35m to announce her intent to hold onto her title. Only four women in this field had ever thrown that far. A couple of throwers later Danniel Thomas-Dodd tossed a 19.38 to grab third place. That lasted until the beginning of the second round when Indoor Champion Auriol Dongmo put out a 19.63m to move into second. Near the beginning of the third round, Sarah Mitton took over second place with a 19.90m. After establishing a new order, Olympic Champion Gong Lijiao threw 19.69m to advance to third place. Four throwers later, Dongmo also threw a 19.69m. With the 19.63m, Dongmo held the tiebreaker and was in third place. With her fifth round throw, Gong threw 19.67m to reverse the tiebreaker and take over third. Mitton then improved to 20.08m. Then Ealey launched another one. 20.43 m (67 ft 1⁄4 in) for the win. Nobody was able to improve in the final round. Dongmo thought she had a throw that could get her a medal, but it was ruled foul. She protested and it was measured, but we will never what it was. The protest was denied.
