Pawel Fajdek enters the arena, via the mobile electronic doorway,
to contest and win another World Championship hammer throwing
final for Poland. But never an Olympic gold.
Every finalist was introduced through the door, with a background
of their national colours.

*** Wojciech Nowicki was awarded a bronze medal following
irregularities in the conduct of the competition which disadvantaged the
Polish athlete. The opening throw by Bence Halász was perhaps invalid - his only
other valid throw was 73.76. So two medals for Poland. Nice.
