Summary

In the preliminary round, defending champion Brooke Andersen relinquished her opportunity to defend, struggling to put the hammer into the sector and only throwing 67.72m, almost 5 metres behind the last qualifying spot. Anita Włodarczyk was also unable to make the finals with a best of 71.17m.

Hanna Skydan had the first legal throw of the competition, 74.18m. Returning 4th place, Sara Fantini got close with a 73.89m At the end of the round, returning silver medalist Camryn Rogers launched a 77.22 m (253 ft 4 in) to take the lead. Starting the second round, the next thrower was returning bronze medalist Janee' Kassanavoid. Her 76.00m took over second place. Nobody else improved into the medals. Again in the third round, Kassanavoid improved to 76.36m while by the end of the round, seven women had thrown 73 metres or better, leaving Olympic silver medalist Wang Zheng in the last qualifying position. Barely one spot ahead of her, 2019 Champion DeAnna Price had only managed 73.28m but also qualified for three more throws. With the new life, in the fifth round, she spun a 75.41m to take the bronze medal position. Nobody was able to improve through the remaining two rounds.

Rogers threw consistently with four throws better than anyone else was able to produce in the competition.
