A generationHer father Udo Hussong used a tablet to photograph her, how she runs, how to turn her upper body, how to pull her arms back, how to shoot her spear into the sky. He kept looking at his tablet. Try one: 59.94 meters, try two: 59.18 meters. Experiment 3: She ran, the upper body was flat, and the gun was flat: 59.61 meters. The father looked at the tablet again—and then looked up. His expression indicated: He didn’t understand what happened below.
Christin Hussong sat on the bench, looked at the floor, and pulled her T-shirt. Currently, she ranks eighth in the rankings. Eda Tugsuz placed the spear in the center of her face, and she concentrated and inhaled. Before that, she had two failed attempts. For them: the last attempt. She started. The spear flies in a high arc. 62.13 meters. Tugsuz is still in competition. Her nerves at the moment are stronger than before Christine Hu Song. Hu Song nodded and put on his shoes. She no longer needs spikes. The ninth place, no longer try for her. Hussong, 27 years old, a European champion from Berlin, is 10 meters below her best time of the season in Tokyo. With a score of 69.19 meters, she went to Tokyo as the second in the world and hoped to fight for the medal.
But at this critical moment, she did not find her way into the game. Medals were won by others: Chinese player Liu Shiying won the gold medal (66.34), Polish player Maria Andrechik won the silver medal (64.61), and world champion Kelsey-Lee Barber (64.56) won the bronze medal. Hu Song has already encountered problems in qualifying. Enter the core of the performance. In these games, it doesn’t work for Hu Song. In an ARD interview shortly after the game, she said: “Unfortunately, I can’t do it technically at all. This is the worst game of the year.”
Probably the most untimely moment. “Of course, if this happened in the Olympic finals, it would be too bad. If you are technically so bad, then you are not worthy,” she said. immerse in work. But in the game, she did not “take the gun.”
In the Doha World Cup, Hu Song threw a 65.24-meter spear. She finished fourth there-just missed the medal. The situation at the Olympics should be different. After the game, Hu Song and her father can watch the video clips. What went wrong and what happened? Her father trained her since she was a child. He taught her everything. The roles are clearly assigned on the square. Her father is her coach, she is his athlete, professional distance. In private, they are daughters and fathers. The two of them will continue to do this for a few years. “I think it will look better in a few days. I’m still young and I still have a few games to play,” said Christine Hu Song. I believe your father has the same view.
