Sandra Perkovic failed on five of her six attempts in the discus throw event at the 2016 Rio Games on Tuesday, but her one attempt that landed in play was good enough to bring home gold for Croatia.
The 26-year-old defended her discus throw gold from the 2012 London Games, dwarfing the field with a throw of 69.21 meters. She is the first woman since Evelin Jahl to win back-to-back golds in the event and just the second all time.
That said, it was far from a breezy performance.
