After the Olympic semi-finals a year ago (20th), Walli, who ran the stadium lap in 52.37 seconds, was positive about progressing one round at the World Cup. It was a nice experience to meet the stars in the call room. “Where you want to go yourself, as a vision in a few years. I’ve enjoyed it, as far as that goes over 400.” It’s not that far from being in the top 15. “If you raise your basic level by three or four tenths, that’s there.”
Hudson left Hayward Field, deeply disappointed. 54.05 meters were not enough for a place in the final of the top 12.
World Championships in Eugene: women, 3000 m steeplechase: 1. Jeruto (Kaz) 8:53.02 min.; Discus: 1. Feng (Chn) 69.12 m; Semi-finals: 400 m (top 8 in the final): 1.
