Sara Fantini, 26, won gold on Monday, with the Italian's effort of 74.18m beating Wlodarczyk's fourth attempt of 72.92m - a season's best for the 38-year-old Pole. "We are joking with my coach that grandmother can still throw well and win a medal," Wlodarczyk said. "We still have two months to prepare for Paris and I still have some reserve in my technique so it is nice to see that this was still not my maximum."
