Update on great Aussie athlete Jessica Hull

[vincp40]

Wasn't paying attention to Laura... but I just watched the stream back again, and alas no close up glimpses of Laura after finish.

Btw I think I know what the big problem is with streaming races like this... the camera follows the athletes, so the whole stadium background is constantly moving. That's what the picture can't keep up with.
Before and after the race, steady background so no problem.

Not about Jessica Hull, but still about an athlete peeing her pants... big time. Felt sorry for her though.

5000m, Dutch runner Maureen Koster. She was on 3rd place, but in the end acidification struck en she couldn't react if someone would try to overtake her. And that's what happened.
She reached the finish line 4th place, but stumbled and fell. She kept laying there for like 5 minutes, exhausted, in pain and devastated.
But when she finally stood up... OMG. Biggest wet patch I have seen on any athlete's pants
Not sure if it happened while she was still running, camera focus was on the head of the race, or if she just let go while she was laying on the ground.

Anyway. There is video footage of the last part of the race, and an interview for Dutch TV later. Not the moment when she stood up.
Not sure if any of you can watch this though outside of The Netherlands. Let me know. Or if you find other footage
The interview is a bit sad to watch, she is still devastated and too much pain too stand, so they let her sit down. But a couple of times in the interview they zoom out and that big wet patch is visible even in the shade...

Thanks vincp40! This is great footage, although I feel sorry for the girl. She fought for it, lost control of her bladder, but did not win a medal. I found the video in which she stood up. You can watch it here, but you have to start near the end, near the 2:02:00 mark:

I found a new series of images of Jessica Hull at the 2024 Chemist Warehouse Sydney Track Classic, Saturday 23 March 2024. Some of these images have been posted here before and even in a better resolution, but in this collection, there seem to be more pictures of Jessica in this event. *.zip file 13,0 MB:

Thanks for this great set of pics! She really wet a lot there. Maybe I should think again about that wet patch of Maureen Koster being the biggest I've ever seen

Tomorrow July 7th the Diamond League games are in Paris, Jessica Hull will be running the 1500m

Sceduled time: 17:50 local time (CEST), the final race of the day.

[dalton]

Only the 1500m? I don't know if there is need for a wee in her shorts during the 1500m run.

But I hope she wins. She's such a great and lovely athlete.

[vincp40]

For Jessica, there's always a need
An obvious case of stress incontinence... the more effort, the better her results... and the wetter her pants

[vincp40]

Wow. Jessica did an excellent job there, chasing WR holder Kipyegon... she run a new WR by 0.07 seconds, but Jessica smashed her personal best by 5.14 seconds! 3:50.83
And as far as I could see, mostly in the after finish slow-mo's... yes, she did wet her pants. Muir not much this time.

Thanks vincp40, I found some more. And what a race!

Hull clocked the fifth-fastest time in the history of the women’s 1500m. She challenged Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon, for the top spot for a good portion of the race but the Kenyan smashed the world record with a time of 3:49.04 to win the Paris Diamond League. Hull bettered the previous national record of 3:55.97 achieved by her at the Eugene Diamond League in May. She also rewrote her own Oceania record in the process.

Excellent pics and very nice interview video, good find Dalton!

[Aloo]

She’s on great form and a genuine medal contender for the Olympics. Who knew I would care so much about the 1500m…

This shot BTW is a stream pic! Only the second one of Jess that I have ever found.
