Denia Caballero did not take long to clinch Cuba’s first-ever gold medal in the women’s discus. On her first attempt, the fourth throw of the competition, she produced a massive 69.28m effort which stood up for the rest of the competition.
Caballero did not stop there. She had four of the five farthest throws of the final as she held her rivals at bay.
It took until the 58th of the 60 throws in the final for defending champion Sandra Perkovic to summon a challenge. But her final-round effort of 67.39m, though good enough for the silver medal, was not enough to cause Caballero to break sweat.
