The women's hammer throw at the 2025 World Athletics Championships was held at the National Stadium in Tokyo on 14 and 15 September 2025. ^[1]

Summary

Reigning Olympic champion Camryn Rogers was back to defend her 2023 title. Brooke Andersen came in as the world leader and was the 2022 World Champion. In 2023 Andersen became only the third woman to throw over 80 metres. The second woman to throw over 80 from 2021, DeAnna Price, the 2019 champion is also entered. World record holder, four time World champion, triple Olympic Gold medalist Anita Włodarczyk, was back again at 40 having set the Masters W40 world record earlier in the year. And she wasn't the oldest in the competition as 2008 Olympic Gold medalist, three time World xhampion Yipsi Moreno is also entered two months shy of her 45th birthday. Those five names pretty much represent gold medals at major championships this century. Neither Moreno or Andersen made it out of the qualification round. Three straight fouls is a situation that has plagued Andersen before. Zhao Jie, Silja Kosonen and Rogers hit the 74 metre auto qualifier on their first attempt. Price made it on her second.

As first thrower in the final, Rogers landed a 78.09 m, which no other competitor would surpass. Kosonen was next up, tossing a 74.66 m. That was dropped to third place when Zhang Jiale threw 76.22 m. At the end of the round, Zhao threw 76.54 m, pushing Zhang and Kosonen down. They didn't know it at the time, but that order would not change save a few seconds in the final round. The next thrower up was Rogers who unleashed an 80.51 m to become the second farthest thrower in history and the fourth over 80. Nothing changed until the final round, when Zhang popped a 77.10 m to move into second place. That last long enough for her teammate Zhao to step into the ring and throw half a metre further. It was a personal best and confirmed silver. Rogers used her final throw to go 79.11 m. Throughout the 6 rounds, Rogers had 4 throws that would have won the competition. ^{[2] [3]}
