The leading throwers in early 1936 were Austrian Herma Bauma, and Germans Lies Krüger and Lisa Gelius, although she was not chosen for the German team. The first round leader in Berlin was Maria Kwaśniewska (POL) with 41.80 (137-1¾). Tilly Fleischer took over in the second round with a mark that would have won the gold medal, 44.69 (146-7½), although she surpassed it in round five with 45.18 (148-2¾). Krüger’s silver medal was sealed in round three with 43.29 (142-0½). Bauma placed fourth, but would return in 1948 to win gold, and also set two world records in 1947-48.
