'Should've Been Smarter': Jess Hull Denied at Nationals
Hollingsworth apologized after a late tangle sent Jess Hull to the track and left the result under steward review.
- On Friday, Olympic silver medallist Jess Hull crashed while leading the women's 1500m final at the Australian Athletics Championships in Sydney after a collision with rival Claudia Hollingsworth, prompting stewards to disqualify Hollingsworth and elevate Sarah Billings to first place.
- Hull, the three-time reigning champion, fell after being clipped from behind while closing the rail to block Hollingsworth, who was boxed in during the final straight and ended her unprecedented bid for three titles.
- Hollingsworth stated, " not how I wanted to win," calling the incident a disappointing accident, while coach and father Simon Hull claimed his daughter was "robbed," prompting protests from Hull and Abbey Caldwell.
- The appeal process unfolds today as Hollingsworth challenges her disqualification, with tension mounting before the 800m heats today and final on Sunday, where Hull and Hollingsworth will compete again.
- Record-Breaking performances continued Friday as 22-year-old Lachlan Kennedy became the first Australian to legally break the 10-second barrier on home soil, clocking 9.96 seconds in his 100m heat at Sydney Olympic Park.
