The women's discus throw at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held in Paris, France, on 2 and 5 August 2024. This was the 23rd time that the event is contested at the Summer Olympics.

Summary

Valarie Allman won the previous Olympics on her first throw. Since then Feng Bin won the 2022 World Championships, with 2012 and 2016 champion Sandra Perković pushing Allman to bronze. After marrying her coach in 2023, she now goes by Elkasević. In 2023, Laulauga Tausaga pushed Allman to silver, but Tausaga couldn't land a fair throw at the US Trials and was not here. 2019 World Champion Yaime Pérez was also the 2024 world leader but after defecting to the United States was not eligible to compete.

In the first round of the final, Elkasević started with 64.25m. Vanessa Kamga moved ahead with 65.05m. Feng capped of the round with 66.33m. Allman took the lead in the second round with 68.74m. In the third round, Elkasević tossed 67.51m, matched exactly at the end of the round by Feng. Because Feng had the superior second best throw, she held second place. In the fourth round, Allman improved to 69.50 m (228 ft 0 in). That proved to be the winner as only Marike Steinacker was able to improve to 65.37m, good enough for fourth place in the final rounds. With the tiebreaker remaining, Feng took silver and Elkasević the bronze.^[1]^[2]

Background
