The moment Hull was pipped for silver across the finish line by Mackay, as gold medallist Battocletti began to celebrate. Hull said she was not disappointed by bronze but felt it was a “little bit of a missed opportunity”. Hull added another bronze medal to her collection but is desperate for a gold. The only disappointment for the crowd was that the Swede didn’t then try to improve on the 6.31m world record — his 15th — that he’d set in Uppsala nine days earlier. Peter Bol and Hayley Kitching also have their eyes on a first world championship medal on Sunday, having earned impressive 800m semi-final wins.
