Former champion Hollie Arnold said winning a medal was way beyond her expectations after securing a bronze in the women’s F46 javelin at the World Para Athletics Championships in New Delhi.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 31-year-old took nine months off after finishing third at the 2024 Paralympics in Paris, but returned to secure an eighth world podium place with a season-best throw of 41.94m.<\/p>\n
“It’s a real weird mix of emotions. I’m proud, there’s upset, there’s a million and one things,” said Arnold, who won this event at the previous six World Championships.<\/p>\n
“After Paris mental health came first for me and I just needed to take that time for myself and really understand myself.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t know if I was going to be here, this was not on my cards this year whatsoever, so to be able have very little training out here, throw pretty consistently well – I’m really proud of myself.” <\/p>\n
Arnold led the field in India’s capital after the first round of throws, but did not improve on her mark with five subsequent attempts.<\/p>\n
Noelle Roerda of the Netherlands won the event, with a personal best of 43.74m putting her clear of Uzbekistan’s Shahinakhon Yigitalieva.<\/p>\n
“It’s just been a really messy year, but I’ve found magic in chaos and I think that’s something to very proud of,” Arnold added.<\/p>\n
“I’m not the same person I was in Paris, I’m a very different Hollie and I’m a happy Hollie. To come out here and compete, yeah, I loved it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
