Perkovic produced the most dominant performance of the week with a fifth-round 71.08m national record effort to secure her third successive continental discus throw title. The Croatian won by nearly six metres, the biggest margin of victory in the event in the history of the European Championships, and was the best throw in the world since 1992.
Willed on by an animated Perkovic from the throwing circle, the discus landed almost equidistantly between the 65 and 70-metre sector lines. The distance flashed up at 67.62m and a visibly relieved Perkovic had decisively gained the lead in the fifth round from Muller and was closing in on an historic fifth title.
Her personal best and national record is 71.41 metres, set in July 2017 at the Galà dei Castelli meeting in Bellinzona, Switzerland. At the time, it was the longest discus throw by a female athlete in 25 years.
