South African javelin thrower Sunette Viljoen finished fourth in the woman's javelin final at the London Olympic Games on Thursday night.

Viljoen was in second position after her first attempt of 64.53 meters, but failed to better the throw and slipped down the list as Germany's Linda Stahl took the bronze medal (64.91 meters).

Stahl finished behind fellow German, Christina Obergfoll (65.16 meters) and the Czech Republic's winner, Barbora Spotakova (69.55 meters).
