Webb faulted on his first attempt, but came back with his best throw of the day in his second as he launched the hammer 62.11 meters (203'9"), which temporarily slotted him into ninth-place, which would've qualified him for the finals and three more throws. However, a couple throwers later, his mark would be surpassed, knocking him into the first spot out of the finals. His third throw would come up a bit shorter than his second, coming in at 61.42 meters (201'6"), locking him into 10
