Britain's Lorraine Shaw finished ninth in the women's hammer throw final.

The Commonwealth silver medallist, who had surpassed expectations in making the women's hammer throw final, narrowly failed to go a step further by qualifying for the last eight who receive three extra throws.

The British record holder finished ninth with a best throw on the night of 64.27 metres, almost three metres short of her best.

Victory went to 17-year-old junior Kamila Skolimowska, winner of Poland's third gold medal at the Games with a national record throw of 71.16 metres - also a new Olympic record.

Russia's Olga Kuzenkova took the silver medal throwing 69.77m with Germany's Kirsten Muenchow 69.28m claiming the bronze.
