According to Bodens, she quickly found her way out of her dip at the World Athletics Championships in the USA. At the World Championships a few weeks ago, I made it to the final fight, but after three throws in the final, I was out of the medal race and only finished 11th. After silver medalist Christopher Linke, Bowdens’ success on Tuesday was the second EM medal for an athlete from Potsdam.
