Wojciech, thanks to a little confusion, won his their bronze medal at a World
Championships - to add to his Olympic bronze. Even his P.B. (80.47m)
would not have won him the gold medal in Doha.

*** 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.
