The photo shows Sandra Perković celebrating her victory in the discus, with a lap of
honour waving the Croatian flag. A few weeks earlier, at the European Championships in Helsinki,
she threw 67.62 in the third round, to retain that title. She established a new Croatia record in
February at Split when she threw 67.96, which she of course bettered to win the Olympic title.
