Little goes large to claim javelin bronze in Tokyo

Mackenzie Little's extraordinary ability to combine her lives as a fulltime doctor and a professional athlete has been rewarded with a hugely rewarding javelin bronze medal at the world athletics championships in Tokyo.

Little got off to a flying start in Saturday's final, producing her best throw of 63.58m in the opening round.

Ecuador's Juleisy Angulo topped that with a national record of 65.12m in the second round and Latvia's Anete Sietina (64.64m) improved to second with her final effort.
