Australian Dani Samuels has powered into her third consecutive Olympic discus final, first convincing Rio officials to delay her rain-interrupted qualifying round before holding her nerve for a big last throw.Samuels has put herself in strong medal contention after hurling 64.46 metres to qualify fourth overall for Tuesdays (early Wednesday AEST) final.It wasnt always looking that way in a challenging session that tested every inch of the veterans experience.Heavy rain played havoc with the early stages, turning torrential just as Samuels stepped up and causing her to release a wet discus straight into the cage.The 28-year-old is no stranger to slippery conditions, having become the youngest world champion of all time under showers in Berlin in 2009.But in my head I thought `this is a bit too heavy, because by the time you wind up the discus gets wet, Samuels said.I did say to them `this is insane, its too heavy, we need to delay it.They said, `alright, well go in the tunnel.I think I gave them a nudge in the right direction as to what everybody was thinking.Back out on the field half an hour later, doubts started to creep in.A second attempt short of the 62m automatic qualifying mark didnt help.But the triple Olympian nailed her final throw to finish second in qualifying Group A behind defending Olympic gold medallist Sandra Perkovic from Croatia.I just had to go for it, back that aggression I usually throw with and try and nail it smack bang in the centre, Samuels said. It was take a risk or go home and dont come back.The eventual finish time gave the 2014 Commonwealth Games gold medallist all of 14 hours to back up for a final scheduled the very next morning.It was more than that afforded to Group B, who eventually wrapped up under clear skies at around 11pm.For me its rest, recovery, eat, sleep and get back here in one piece tomorrow morning ready to go, Samuels said.
