Done! Victoria Hudson took seventh place at the meeting of the Diamond Series in Silesia (POL) with a distance of 59.07 meters.
Lower Austria qualified in fifth place for the Diamond League final in Brussels (BEL), which will take place on 13 and 14 September. The day was won by European vice-champion Adrian Vilagos (SRB), who threw a new national record of 65.60 m.
“I had to fight a bit, I only managed 59.07 in the fourth attempt. But I’m very happy that I’m in the Diamond League final for the second time in a row. Last year in Eugene I was in the sixth place, the goal “I have to be able to compete for the best places in Brussels. I have two weeks to work on my form,” said the 28-year-old Olympian.
Coach Gregor Högler was also happy: “We are relieved that the absence due to illness in China did not take its toll and that Vicky was still in the top 6 in the overall ranking. That’s amazing. Dyk and Nikola Ogrodnikova do not exist in Brussels.”
Sports highlights on Sunday afternoon in Silesia were provided by the world records of Jakob Ingebrigtsen (NOR), who cleared the 3,000 mi 7:17.55 minutes, and the Olympic pole vault champion Armand Duplantis (SWE), who increased his world record to 6.26 meters.
