Swapna Barman fouls, gold medal hopes look distant

Ekaterina Voronina of Uzbekistan throws the javelin to 51.87m. That should give her a huge lead over Swapna. Swapna has a foul throw in her first attempt. Looks like she will do well to now stay ahead of Japan's Yuki Yamasaki to hold on to 2nd spot in the overall heptathlon standings.
