Olympic champion Anita Wlodarczyk ended her summer in amazing fashion as she broke her hammer world record for the second time in two weeks. 

The 82.29 metres the Pole threw to win gold at Rio 2016 has immediately been broken after her 82.98m effort at the seventh Kamila Skolimowska Memorial competition in Warsaw.

She has now broken the 80m barrier on 11 occasions - no other woman has ever hit that landmark - and was in a class of her own, with Great Britain's Olympic bronze medallist Sophie Hitchon in second and American Amber Campbell in third.

"I was saying that I want to improve the record and I was able to keep my word," said Wlodarczyk.

The Rio gold medallist produced a glorious series of throws, starting with 79.68m, increasing it to 80.31m in the second round and then throwing 81.77m, which was her second best ever.

She then went on to break her world record mark by 69 centimetres. 

In the fifth round she then reached 81.28m, before a final round foul.

"I like to improve step by step and play with the emotions," Wlodarczyk, a double world and triple European champion, said.

"Yes it was close to 83 metres, but let us save something for next season.

"I want to thank the spectators, they gave me the right wings. 

"Normally I am forced to motivate myself but this time the motivation came from the tribunes."

The event remembers Poland's Skolimowska, the 2000 Olympic hammer champion who died unexpectedly in 2009 at the age of just 26.

Along with the tributes, it was also the final home meeting in the career of Poland's double Olympic shot put champion Tomasz Majewski.

Wlodarczyk dedicated her record to Skolimowska and Majewski.

"Not only Kamila but also the last meet of Tomasz in Poland was another special motivation," the 31-year-old said.

"When I end my career, I would also be happy if somebody would achieve a world record."
