Women's Discus???

Stephanie Brown Trafton won the women's discus throw today.

Brown Trafton's gold is her first title on the international level and gives the United States its first gold medal in the event since Lillian Copeland won at the 1932 Los Angeles Games. It also is the first U.S. medal in the event since Leslie Deniz won silver in 1984 in Los Angeles.

That's quite an achievement. She threw that thing 212+ feet on her first pass and it held up.
