Discus thrower Kamalpreet Kaur finished a creditable sixth in her first Olympics with the best throw of 63.70m in a rain-interrupted final.

The 25-year-old Kaur, who has qualified for the final as second-best on July 31, was never in the running for a medal in the eight rounds of competition which was interrupted by rain for more than an hour. She had a third-round throw of 63.70m to end at sixth and equal 2010 Commonwealth Games gold medallist Krishna Poonia's performance in the 2012 London Olympics.
