Australia had three of the 12 women in the javelin final in Budapest and Mackenzie Little was the star, winning a bronze medal.
Taking a leaf from compatriot Kelsey-Lee Barber’s book, Australian javelin thrower Mackenzie Little waited for her final throw to vault herself in the medals at the world championships.
Little launched a throw 63.38 metres and for a few short minutes had her hands on the silver medal. There was nothing more she could do but wait and hope she wasn’t overtaken. Kitaguchi’s last-gasp win borrowed from the playbook the reigning two-time Australian champion Barber had previously perfected. But Barber was unable to follow that script on this night. Her best effort of 61.19m left her well out of the medals in seventh place.
