Status	Olympic
Location	Kokuritsu Kyogijo, Shinjuku, Tokyo
Participants	21 from 15 countries

Tamara Press (URS) had won the European Championships in 1958 and 1962 and had been favored in 1960, settling for a silver medal. Since the 1960 Olympics, she had broken the world record five times. Germany’s Ingrid Lotz was not highly considered prior to the Olympics but she took the lead in the first round with 57.21 (187-8½). After four rounds she led and Press was in fourth place, but Press threw 57.27 (187-10¾) in the penultimate round to win the gold medal in a very close competition. Romania’s Lia Manoliu won the bronze medal, only 30 centimetres back of Press.
