Australia had three of the 12 women in the javelin final in Budapest and Mackenzie Little was the star, winning a bronze medal.

Australian Mackenzie Little’s path to a bronze medal in the women’s javelin final at the world athletics championships in Budapest.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.
