Fuchs had improved the world record to 65.06 three months before Munich and led the qualifying round with 60.88. After the 18 year-old Kate Schmidt threw 59.94 in round 1, Fuchs went into first place with 60.20 in the next round, and built on the lead with 61.16 and finally 63.88 – the second best throw ever – in round 5. Her teammate Todten, another 18 year-old, passed Schmidt in the final round with 62.54, a world junior best.
       
Summary by Sports-reference.com      
The javelin had been re-designed in 1998 and the world record list started anew. Norway’s Trine Hattestad set the first world record with the new implement on 28 July 2000. Twice favored at the Olympics (1992-96), she had been the most consistent thrower of the 1990s, winning the World Championships in 1993 and 1997, and the European Championship in 1994. In the first round, she threw 68.91 (226-1), the second-longest mark to date, and that would finally win her an Olympic gold medal. The silver medal went to the 1999 World Champion, Mirela Tzelili of Greece, while the bronze medal was won by the 1999 Pan-American Games champion, Osleidys Menéndez of Cuba.
