Jan 28 1999
The Canadian women's hammer program has surpassed the other throws events in Canada for it's depth internationally. The charts below summarize the number of athletes each country placed in the world top 100 rankings for 1998 (plus ties) and the highest-ranked of these. Since one or two placings may represent only exceptional individuals, rather than national program strength, Roger Ruth has truncated the lists to three placings or more. (He has those additional data, if anyone would like them by personal e-mail. Roger Ruth) The data base drawn upon is the world list from Mirko Jalava's remarkable web site .
