Summary Jim Spier

Event Summary: The favorite, Dani Samuels of Australia, had a rather easy time of it. Five of her sixth throws would have won the competition. She opened with 197-7, then improved to a World Junior lead of 198-11 on her third throw. The battle was really for the silver, and that was between the two Chinese competitors, Saili Pan and Jian Tan. Pan, today the woman with a better plan, overran Tan by a span of 4' 4" (188-4 to 184-0).
