Olympics over early
Hudson after elimination: “I’m really pissed off”
Victoria Hudson's brief appearance at the Olympic Games in Paris was a bitter one. The 28-year-old javelin thrower has to pack her bags after qualifying - a distance of 59.69 meters is not enough for the final. "I'm really pissed off, but I can't change it," said Hudson dejectedly in the ORF interview.
She would have been Austria's great medal hope, but javelin thrower Hudson failed to qualify. Only the twelve best overall or all those with throws over 62 m will go through to the final. Hudson threw 59.69 m in her first attempt, her other two were invalid. She missed out on a place in the top 12.
"Not throwing over 60 meters at the Olympics is not good enough. It just didn't come together today. I actually felt good. It's extremely difficult because the season has gone well this year. Nobody can take my European Championship title away from me. It just wasn't meant to be today," said Hudson. "I'm really upset, but I just can't change it anymore."
She had often thrown well over 60 m during the season and her Austrian record has stood at 66.06 m since May. The Summer Games in Paris are now over for Hudson.
