Overview by IAAF   1996_olympic_stadium.jpg 
Two European titles and undefeated seasons in 1989-90 could not mask the fact that Wyludda had never fulfilled her potential at the global level. Her only Olympic appearance had been a lowly ninth in Barcelona and she had twice won world silvers after being the gold medal favourite. Atlanta made up for this, as she reached 66.78 in the qualifying, and then produced five throws in the final beyond the best of the opposition. Her opening throw of 68.02 effectively quelled the other throwers, and she then boomed the winner of 69.66 in the second round. Her winning margin of 3.18m was only 2cm less than the difference between second and seventh. Sadova was nevertheless a solid second, with four throws better than bronze medallist Zvereva.
       
Summary by Sports-reference.com      
Germany’s Ilke Wyludda had won the 1990 and 1994 European Championships but had struggled at the Olympics and World Championships, winning silvers at the Worlds in 1987 and 1995, after being favored. She had been the top thrower in the world from 1988-91, but was now felt to be slightly past her prime. But she ended that jinx in Atlanta with dominating performance. She opened with 68.02 (223-2) to take the lead and improved to 69.66 (228-6½) in the second round. She did not better that mark but her five fair throws all were good enough for the gold medal.
