The story
Trine Hattestad set a women’s javelin world record of 69.48 metres at the Bislett Games in Oslo on 28 July 2000. The throw improved the mark she had established in Rome earlier in the season.
How it unfolded
The record was achieved at a meeting on home soil in Norway. World Athletics’ contemporary account places the performance within an evening of international track and field competition at Bislett Stadium.
The wider picture
The federation subsequently announced ratification on 12 September. Achievement and ratification are separate dates: this report follows the competition on 28 July, while the later administrative confirmation establishes recognition of the mark.
