Race against time for lost javelin A delivery company could be in hot water after the javelin belonging to 2008 Olympic medallist Goldie Sayers was misdirected in the post. The retired Team GB athlete was sending the javelin to New Zealander Tori Peeters for use in Sunday’s event but it went to the wrong depot. ‘It’s got a lot of sentimental value,’ said Sayers. ‘I hope they get it to her in time.’ Share or comment on this article: All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
