NOW THIS IS WHAT A FEMALE HAMMER THROWER SHOULD LOOK LIKE - AN ATHLETE, NOT A CONTESTANT ON “THE BIGGEST LOSER”
Lysenko yet again! 78.67 World Record * in the Hammer Throw
Saturday 26 May 2007
Tatyana Lysenko of Russia extended her own World record * in the Hammer Throw, reaching 78.67m at the All-Russian Athletics competition in Sochi today (26).
Her throw came on her first attempt to add 87 centimetres to her own previous World Record of 77.80m set on 15 August 2006 in Tallinn, Estonia.
It was the fourth World record for Lysenko, the 2005 bronze medallist at the World Championships in Helsinki and the reigning European Champion.
