In the section on the 1986 European Championships it says that Whitbread produced a throw of 73.68 m in the fifth round which was "the second-longest throw of all time by a woman, at that point". However, right before that statement it says she broke the javelin world record in the qualifying round with a throw of 77.44 m "more than 2 m further than the record set by Petra Felke of East Germany the previous year". So how could 73.68 m be the second-longest throw of all time by a woman? It looks like it was the fourth-longest at best:
