Highlights from the Olympic Stadium as Croatia's Sandra Perkovic wins the gold medal in the women's discus throw event at the London 2012 Olympic Games (4 August 2012).
The Russian Federation's Darya Pishchalnikova won silver in the event with China's Li Yanfeng winning the bronze.
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men.

[@tkatnss]

Will the Cuban lose her bronze? She has been stripped of her medal which she won in Beijing

[@hogo1]

screaming AFTER the discus is released does nothing.

[@HannaHeartSleep]

I do that too. Not sure why, but it happens. Maybe its a way to release all of the extra energy post throw so one doesn't remain as tensed?
