If medals were awarded to the farthest throws instead of individual throwers, Poland's Anita Wlodarczyk would win gold, silver, bronze and the honorary hardware as the third runner-up. (That's fourth.)
She won Olympic gold with her world-record delivery in the women's hammer throw. She threw 82.29 metres and two attempts later, threw 81.74m which was also better than the previous record of 81.08m.
China's Zhang Wenxiu won silver with 76.75m. And with 74.54m, Great Britain's Sophie Hitchon nabbed bronze on her final throw.
