RIO DE JANEIRO: Twice hammer throw world champion Pawel Fajdek from Poland failed on Wednesday to qualify for the Olympic final after managing just a 72 metre throw that was nearly 12m shy of his career best. Fajdek fouled on his first try before a pair of throws that came in well short of the automatic qualifying standard of 76.5m and the rest of the field.
