Overview by IAAF |
|
|
The principal absentees caused by the boycott were Ralf Reichenbach (FRG) and Brian Oldfield (USA), who would almost certainly have been medal contenders. The favourite was defending champion Beyer, who had been the undisputed number one thrower in the world for three years. The stocky (1.87/120Kg) but quick Kiselyov took the lead from Geoff Capes’s 20.50 in the fourth round with 21.10, which would prove enough to win. Baryshnikov rotated to 21.08, and another Olympic medal, in the second round, while Beyer, who looked curiously flat, only surpassed 21m in the third round. It transpired that Beyer had injured his back at the start of the final. Of the non-medallists only Ståhlberg improved in the second half, with 20.82 in the fifth round. Only Kiselyov reached 21m in the second half of the final, with 21.00 in the fourth round, and then 21.35 with his final throw to beat Baryshnikov’s Olympic record. |

Summary by Sports-reference.com |
|
|
|
The American boycott had minimal effect as the best throwers were now East Germans and Soviets. Brian Oldfield (USA) was a reinstated amateur and may have challenged. Udo Beyer had won the 1978 European Championship, was the defending champion, and was the world record holder. But he would win only a bronze medal. Aleksandr Baryshnikov (URS) moved up from his 1976 bronze to win silver in 1980. The winner was a big surprise. Vladimir Kiselyov (URS) opened with 21.10 (69-2¾), only three centimeters off his PR, and that was good enough for the gold medal. But he would improve in the final round to 21.35 (70-0½), securing the gold, and surpassing 70-feet for the first time at the Olympics. Kiselyev would never medal again at any major international competition. |
