Greece lead as much as 15 points, lead at the half 40-30, now down by 3 after 3 quarters. A poor third quarter by Greece, limited to just 13 points. 56-53 Brazil lead.
Stamatia Skarvelis won gold with an astonishing throw of 71.33, which she became the 3rd Greek athlete to go to Doha achieving the standard entry. She the 2nd behind Stellana Papadopoulou all-time in the women's hammer throw for Greece.
