Jorinde van Klinken won the women’s discus throw at Birmingham 2026 with a distance of 67.67 metres.
The Dutch athlete led the final ahead of Germany’s Shanice Craft, who threw 65.72 metres, and Sweden’s Vanessa Kamga, who reached 64.61 metres. Van Klinken’s victory came after she also won silver in the women’s shot put, making her one of the championship’s notable field-event performers.
In discus, athletes rotate inside a circular throwing area before releasing a heavy disc into a marked sector. The longest legal throw wins, provided the athlete remains inside the circle until the implement lands. Van Klinken’s discus title was separate from Jessica Schilder’s shot-put victory, even though both athletes competed successfully in throwing events.
