| A delighted Yipsi is pictured above acknowledging the crowd after her
final round throw in the women's Hammer final at the 2008 Olympic Games
in Beijing. Moreno, a two time World champion, finished in second place
behind Aksana Miankova with a throw of 75.20m, which she achieved with
this final round effort. The gold medal was beyond her thanks to a
stunning new Olympic record throw of 76.34m by Miankova, with Yipsi's
silver medal winning performance meaning she had replicated her
achievement of four years previously in Athens.
