Who holds the womens world record in the shot put?

Grab a 16 pound metal ball, stand inside a 7 foot circle, rest the ball between your neck and shoulder and push your arm straight out with the thumb pointing down, don't forget to let go of the ball or as the pros call it, the shot. Now if your name was Randy Barnes and you were from the USA and you were in Westwood, California on May 20, 1990 and you followed the instructions above, then your shot would have flown exactly 23.12 meters, which would have been enough to give you the record for the world's longest shot put. The world's longest shot put for a female was set by Helena Fibingerová of Czechoslovakia on February 19, 1977 at 22.50 meters, but we must add that the women's shot weighs only 8.8 pounds.
