The 22-year-old threw a personal best effort of 12.11 metres with her first throw of the competition.Oduwaiye’s five remaining efforts were red flagged as she finished behind China’s Yao Juan and the United States’ Arelle Middleton.”There is definitely more to come,” said Oduwaiye.”I know I can do a lot more. It’s nice to get that appreciation of a bronze medal for now.”There was definitely another big one [throw] out there but unfortunately, that’s how the game is.”The F44 classification is for field athletes with a lower limb deficiency, leg length difference or impaired range of movement in one leg that affects their balance. Great Britain have won 15 medals so far in India, including four golds. It leaves them joint-fourth in the rankings, with Brazil leading the way on 12 golds.
