Overview by IAAF   stadio olimpico rome

This she improved to 71.62 in the fourth round. The only other 70m throw of the contest was by Gansky in the third. The GDR filled three of the first four places, with world junior record holder Wyludda in fourth spot. World senior record holder Šilhavá placed sixth, just as she had in Helsinki.
 These are the official results of the Women's Discus Throw event at the 1987 World Championships in Rome, Italy. There were a total number of 23 participating athletes, with the final held on Monday August 31, 1987.
