[1] The competition mascot was an anthropomorphic white seagull with a blue hat and scarf, named Marino.

Designed by children from the Juraj Bonači educational centre, the mascot builds on the fact that Split is a coastal city.

The standings following the event were: After doping disqualifications of Andrei Mikhnevich and Marwa Hussein in 2013, their scores were deleted and others amended, which changed the result in the tight team competition.

The revised scores are as follows: 1  Andrei Mikhnevich (BLR) of Europe originally won the bronze medal with 20.68m, but he was disqualified in 2012 after a retest of his samples from the 2005 World Championships tested positive for clenbuterol, methandienone and oxandrolone.

1  Mariya Abakumova (RUS) of Europe originally won the gold medal with 68.14, but she was disqualified in 2018 after her results from 2008 to 2016 were deleted after a retest of her samples from the 2012 Olympics were positive for dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (oral turanibol).
