Gerda de Kock won the shot put event in a "new English record". Dutch newspapers wrote she improved the English national record from 32 ft. 11 inch to 33 ft. 8 inch (10.25 metres). The throw of 10.40 metres of the Dutch Munnikes was invalid. She finished in second place with 10.09 metres. De Kock also became champion in the javelin throw event with 36.10, "beating the English record with 4 feet and 2 inches". Title holder Halstead finished in second place. The national records described by the Dutch press, became never official English national records.
