Sviatlana Sudak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sviatlana Sudak (born 17 November 1971 in Grodno) is a Belarusian hammer thrower.

On 5 June 1994 she set a new world record with 67.34 metres. Unfortunately, this happened before the IAAF recognized world records in hammer throw for women, so when Mihaela Melinte threw 66,86 metres on 4 March 1995 she set the first official world record. [1] In June the same year Olga Kuzenkova improved it to 68,14 metres. Sudak has later improved her personal best to 69.80 metres, well behind Tatyana Lysenko who had set a new world record of 77,06 metres a week earlier.

At the World Championships, Sudak has never finished higher than the ninth place from 1999. She competed in the Olympic Games twice, finishing tenth in 2000.
