Athletics-Pole Wlodarczyk breaks her hammer world record
WARSAW, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Olympic champion Anita Wlodarczyk broke her hammer world record at a meeting in Warsaw on Sunday.
The 31-year-old Pole produced a throw of 82.98 meters to eclipse the effort of 82.29 that won her the gold medal in Rio de Janeiro earlier this month.
Wlodarczyk threw 80 meters-plus three times on Sunday and is the only female competitor to launch the hammer that distance. (Writing by Tony Jimenez; Editing by Andrew Both)
