The expression says it all. Lui Shiying, the Asian record holder, had thrown
65.88m to take the lead with her fifth throw. Then moments later Kelsey-Lee
Barber lands the javelin at 66.56m with her final throw.
Lui Shiying has one more throw to regain the lead and win the gold.
She could "only' manage a throw of 65.75m ! She walks back dejected.
