2011 World Championships in Athletics – Women's hammer throw
The women's hammer throw event at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics was held at the Daegu Stadium on September 2 and 4.
Zalina Marghieva, Alena Matoshka, Jennifer Dahlgren were other entrants ranked in the top ten.[1][2] The 2009 world champion Anita Włodarczyk was not expected to compete due to a back injury.[3]
Tatyana Lysenko won the competition on her first throw, then proceeded to improve her position on the next two throws. Top qualifier Zhang Wenxiu also made her best throw on her first attempt. It took Betty Heidler until the 5th round to finally displace her into bronze position, pushing Yipsi Moreno off the medal stand. Defending champion Anita Włodarczyk did make a game effort, throwing her season best, but only managed 5th place.
