Ancient Olympia Stadium.[1] It was originally planned to hold the discus throw at this venue, but it was discovered that the field was not large enough to accommodate the range of modern discus throwers, and would have posed a danger to spectators. As such, it was decided instead to hold the shot put at the site, despite the fact that the shot put was not contested at the Ancient Olympic Games. There were 38 competitors from 28 nations.[2] After a series of doping-related disqualifications, the event was won by Koji Murofushi of Japan, the nation's first medal in the event.[3]
All distances are given in metres.

Disqualifications

On 23 August 2004, Irina Korzhanenko of Russia was stripped of her gold medal and received a lifetime ban by the International Olympic Committee (as it was her second doping offense after 1999) after she tested positive for the steroid stanozolol.[4] Accordingly, Cuba's Yumileidi Cumbá, Germany's Nadine Kleinert, and Korzhanenko's teammate Svetlana Krivelyova were upgraded to the medal positions.[5]

On 5 December 2012, eight years after the official medal ceremony, Krivelyova was disqualified and stripped of her bronze medal after a re-analysis of her 2004 sample tested positive for

Natallia Kharaneka had both been banned for doping offenses since 2004, the IOC decided to declare the bronze medal vacant (in the official publication of the results, Nadzeya Astapchuk is listed third, but without getting a bronze medal).[3][2][8]

Competition format

Each athlete receives three throws in the qualifying round. All who achieve the qualifying distance progress to the final. If less than twelve athletes achieve this mark, then the twelve furthest throwing athletes reach the final. Each finalist is allowed three throws in last round, with the top eight athletes after that point being given three further attempts.[1][8]
