HAMMER
THE ESTADIO OLIMPICO had already seen two world records as the hammer women entered the infield, but unlike in the men’s 400m and women’s 10,000m, this was barely a surprise.
Anita Wlodarczyk came into the Games as a massive favourite, unbeaten in more than two years, and she added 1.21m to her world record with a third-round 82.29m.
